Escape to:

Whitsundays Liveaboard

The Heart of the Great Barrier Reef
20th – 23rd February 2026

The Experience…

Sail into paradise aboard Summer Jo for three unforgettable days exploring the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. 

Discover the magic of the Whitsundays — from diving the vibrant outer reef to wandering the pure white sands of iconic Whitehaven Beach.


Wake up surrounded by turquoise water, dive beneath the surface to meet dazzling marine life, and unwind on deck as the sun sets over the islands. With spacious cabins, delicious meals, and great company, Summer Jo offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.


Join us to experience the Whitsundays — where the reef meets the islands and every moment feels like a dream.
