What you can expect

Escape to a dreamy tropical island paradise in less than an hour on this Carnac Island half day sail from Fremantle. Get cosy aboard the vessel and enjoy a moment of peace and tranquillity as the wind blows in your hair travelling to the island. This A Class Nature Reserve is teeming with wildlife so grab your fins and snorkel and take a dip in the ocean to swim or snorkel alongside friendly Sea Lions and tropical fish. A large sheltered bay on the eastern side of the island provides the ideal conditions for a relaxing swim in shallow waters but you may have to share the beach with some playful Sea Lions. The use of stand up paddle boards and kayaks are available for those who wish to stay dry and for an extra thrill, a huge cargo net can be thrown out the back of the vessel for your very own little spa bath. Morning or afternoon tea and water are provided, simply pack your swimmers, towel and sunscreen for this extraordinary adventure at Carnac Island.
