GUNGHA II Sailing Adventures The Detail
GUNGHA II is a large ocean-going yacht that voyages into the Pacific annually. We have plenty of sheltered seating, clean toilets and hot outside showers. Our safety gear is designed for heavy ocean work and our policies are designed to keep our travellers safe at all times. We need your co-operation and require you to listen carefully to our onboard pre-trip safety briefing. Passengers are encouraged to advise the crew of any concerns and we will try to help.
A moderate level of fitness is required for this tour. If you are doubtful of your suitability for sailing on a boat that will be moving please talk to us first and we can either re-assure you or direct you to another more suitable activity. Unfortunately we are unable to provide wheelchair accessibility.

We do not target or swim with dolphins. Our encounters occur naturally and are often brief. Marine mammals protection regulations are strictly observed.
We will be visiting a wildlife sanctuary and must do all we can to protect this fragile environment. You will be required to leave rucksacks and other gear aboard unless previously agreed. Many guests will swim to the beach and our crew will follow with the island necessities (hats, shirts and sunnies).
Snorkelling is available to those who are competent swimmers. You may be asked to declare your ability. Snorkelling is supervised but not guided. If your ability is in doubt you may be required to forego snorkelling or to try it at the beach (where you can stand up!) with a competent person alongside.
