tallship adventures
In the beginning, god created...
Well actually, it was Warren & Jo Ladd who commenced Tallship Adventures with their vision to focus on sharing with guests the experience of sailing a heritage Tallship combined with the underlying theme of sustainability and eco tourism. Legends in their own right, they created the multiple award-winning, eco-accredited Tall Ship Adventures business.
TALLSHIP ADVENTURES and the DERWENT HUNTER has been sailing the sheltered waters of the Whitsunday Islands for over 25 years and is multi award winning for Adventure and Eco Tourism. The DERWENT HUNTER has been delighting guests by offering traditional sailing, snorkelling, eco interpretation sharing knowledge about the Whitsundays original inhabitants, the Ngaro Aboriginal people, the local ecology & geology.
2021 sees a change for everyone, including Tall Ship Adventures and the DERWENT HUNTER when she embarks on a new chapter in her history by increasing the level of voyaging options, First Nations maritime cultural heritage and eco tourism, all from her home base at the Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach, and our playground the Whitsunday Islands.
Under new ownership with the guidance of saltwater legends Sonia Minniecon and Michael Smith, TALLSHIP ADVENTURES and the legendary Tall Ship DERWENT HUNTER are joining forces with the SALTWATER CLUB to bring a new level of maritime heritage, seafaring history, eco tourism and Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Australian South Sea Islander saltwater culture.
Multi award-winning, eco-tourism at it's best!
