While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $148 a day this sits above the $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 6 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Australia
- 3 other options in Australia, starting with aboriginal art and desert culture in Alice Springs from $900.
- When to go
- Workable across 9 months of the year — Sep-May. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 21 days, but the honest range is 10 to 45. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
