Whitsundays Backpacker Tours
Planning to travel to the Whitsunday Islands as part of your backpacking trip? True Blue’s Whitsundays tours for backpackers combine the classic Whitsundays experiences with social activities, designed for the adventurer.
Sail across crystal-clear waters, explore the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, and end the day at an epic party hosted onboard. On our two-day, two-night Whitsundays backpacker tours, we’ll take you to all of the big names - Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout, as well as a few hidden snorkelling and diving spots.
We have two Whitsundays tours for backpackers: the Atlantic Clipper and the New Horizon. Each vessel offers a unique itinerary, comfortable accommodation, a deliciously prepared menu, and equipment for a range of water activities.
Don’t wait long to book - spots on tours run out quickly, especially during peak season! Get in touch with our team today to secure a spot for your Whitsundays backpacker tour with True Blue Sailing.

Whether you’re backpacking solo, with your partner, or with your group of friends, socialise with new and old friends on board. Our friendly crew ensures your two-day, two-night Whitsundays tour is fun, exciting, and comfortable.
Our tours can accommodate between 32 and 54 guests, depending on the vessel you choose. Regardless of whether you select our Atlantic Clipper vessel or New Horizon vessel, we host an All White Sunset Drinks on the last night of every backpacker's tour. Our All White Sunset Drinks party is our last night together, so put on your best white clothes, take photos with your new friends, and dance the night away.
From snorkelling, swimming, and soaking up the sun to good music and drinks with like-minded people, our Whitsundays tours for backpackers are the ultimate backpacking experience.
