Come and enjoy the experience of a lifetime aboard the magnificent tall ship "Windeward Bound". The sounds of a sailing ship on a calm night, the thrill of handling heavy weather, dolphins diving before the bow, broadening your horizons, making friends, learning to respect, trust and care for the sea and your crew mates, gaining a real sense of achievement. Imagine all this and you are just beginning to imagine the adventure of participating in a voyage on the Windeward Bound.

This beautiful brigantine has become a National Icon and has been described as a national treasure. She has circumnavigated Australia emulating the discoveries and honouring the 1802 voyage of Matthew Flinders, whose logs and journals provide the earliest observations of many parts of the Australian coast. He recorded flora and fauna, as well as the many contacts with the indigenous Australians.

Be it our ‘Three hour Square Rig Experience’ or our 'Seven day Eco-Tour’ to the remote wilderness of Recherche and Port Davey, our voyages and adventures are about you learning how to sail a square-rigger, re-visiting places discovered by Matthew Flinders and other early explorers and places not normally accessible by any other means.
