K'gari in October – just like any other time of year – is a true paradise, particularly for those who want the tropical island experience. With mild spring temperatures ranging from 19°c to 26°c and not a lot of rainfall, October gives you the perfect conditions for an evening on the water.

Sail Away on K’gari

If you’re going to sail near K’gari, you absolutely have to try a sunset sail! The calm seas and gentle breezes mean you’ll have a smooth and enjoyable sailing experience, and as the sun dips towards the horizon, the sky and sea will be painted with brilliant shades of orange, pink and purple.

Sunset sailing tours around K’gari will give you a unique and very romantic perspective of the island’s stunning coastline. Unless you’re on a multi-day tour, you’ll depart in the late afternoon so you’ll have a few hours to soak in the scenic beauty before day turns to night.

Don’t forget your camera, because you won’t just see sunsets. As you glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Great Sandy Strait, you might also spot a variety of marine animals, including dolphins and sea turtles, as they are pretty active during this time of year.

You’ll also be blessed with views of the island’s most iconic landmarks from the water, such as the dramatic cliffs of Indian Head, the pristine sands of Seventy-Five Mile Beach and the lush greenery of the island’s interior. Watch the ebbing light change the landscape from beautiful to absolutely stunning, while you sip champagne and relax.

Sunset sailing tours are definitely relaxing and leisurely experiences, so they’re perfect after a long day of island exploration. The gentle rocking of the boat combined with the soothing sounds of the water, creates a peaceful ambience that you’re sure to remember forever.

Book Your Adventure

To get the best sunset sailing experience, it’s a good idea to book in advance, especially during the popular spring season. If you miss out, don’t worry – there are multi-day tours and boat charters you can use instead. Otherwise, you can always sit on the beach and experience the beauty.
