YOUR TONGARRA WHITSUNDAYS ITINERARY:
None of our vessels have set itineraries, as we are dependent on weather and tidal conditions. When you board the boat, the
crew will sit down with you and go through information specific to the tour, as well as where you may be going in the coming
days.
WHAT TO BRING:
In a small soft bag (enviro safe), we suggest that you bring the following –
Light Clothing / Warm clothing in cooler months (May – September)
A water bottle
Swimsuit
Hat
Sunscreen (30+ highly recommended)
Bath Towel and Beach Towel
Sunglasses
Insect Repellent
Alcohol (no glass please) NO MORE THAN 24 cans of beer OR 4ltrs box wine (goon) OR 1ltr of spirits
Waterproof Camera/Film
All meals are included
However, Tongarra Whitsundays is a late departure meaning lunch will not be provided on the first day. If you think the fresh air might make you extra hungry,
you may want to bring crisps, chocolates etc. as well as any other flavored drink such as orange juice or coke.
WHAT NOT TO BRING:
Glass bottles or Red Wine
Sleeping bags or pillows
Passport, Travel Documents
Shampoo and Conditioner (Environmental Purposes)
Plastic Bags (They kill our wildlife and smother our coral!) – Goon is not a plastic bag!

WEATHER:
Welcome to the tropics! Although our winters are unbeatable in terms of weather, our summers can be hot and wet. November –
March can be extremely hot and humid, especially downstairs on a boat. Unless you are accustomed to living in this climate, you
may find it slightly uncomfortable, especially at night when you are sleeping. Please be prepared for this

WATER, TEA, AND COFFEE:
We provide tap water however it isn’t cold and some people don’t like the taste of it. During our summer
months, we strongly encourage you to bring bottled water. We recommend 2 litres per day. Tea and Coffee breaks are generally in
the morning and afternoon.

TRAVEL SICKNESS:
If you are not quite sure whether or not, you may suffer from Travel Sickness please make sure that you are prepared. As our
trained crew will assist as much as possible in making you comfortable but they are not allowed to provide you with any
medication to help with the problem.

SNORKELLING GEAR:
Masks and snorkels are all included in the price of your trip and will be distributed on board.

LYCRA SUITS & WETSUITS:
Wearing a Lycra stinger suit will prevent UV exposure and significantly reduce your risk to marine stingers. Red Cat requires that
all passengers wear a full-length stinger suit or wetsuit (with hoods optional and recommended) if you wish to swim or snorkel from our vessels.
You will be fitted for your Suit onboard the boat.
