Was amazing, highlight of my whole trip!! Was nervous we would get sea sick but when anchored up the sea was so calm. Amazing way to see Whitsundays plus all the sunset views and amazing stars at night. The crew (Isaac, fi, and Caris) was so helpful and fun made the trip so enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and do again

    Incredible Nights Under the Stars

    When the sun sets, the magic continues. Avatar's underwater blue lights attract marine life for a unique after-dark viewing experience, while above deck, the Whitsundays’ star-filled sky offers some of the best stargazing on the planet. Watch the Milky Way stretch across the night sky, free from city lights, as the waves gently lap against the hull.
