Sail Away With The Recyclable Regatta

Get your swimmers on, it’s time for the unforgettable Whitsunday Escape Recyclable Regatta.

A fan favourite for the Great Barrier Reef Festival, the Recyclable Regatta tests patience, determination, and communication, and is always a laugh for spectators and other competitors.

Now, all you’ve gotta do is paddle it around the course and be sure not to lose a crewmember!

Register your raft at greatbarrierreeffestival.com.au.
