Yep, I did the 12 day Moon trip in May this year and will pack a kite next time for sure. Saving up for the 17 day trip in 2027!
Pack spare leggies & plenty of peroxide for the inevitable reef kisses

What is the sea state like while traveling between breaks? How's the rolling while anchored?

Being fairly seasick prone is the one big factor keeping me from booking a boat trip. But all these gorgeous pics make me soo JEALOUS! lol



you'll be right ,they always anchor in the lee side of the islands the picture above basically tells the story as you can see a couple of boats anchored in the dark areas ,no one got sea sick on board .We stayed pickled and didn't notice we where on a boat .
I think even a 8 day cruise is ok ,as we where just about burnt out after 11 days ,but got some awesome waves .start saving .
Its a life time trip .I hope the Australian dollar get stronger one day as I basically was only getting 60c on the dollar .but well worth a trip over ,my 2nd trip now .If I was a millionaire I would do it every year for sure .This was a windy day ,had a few kites and windsurfers out on the island just over ,I only took Sups .But they do get great wind there also .


Oh, that is great to know! Thanks for the additional info.

I'm a kiter as well, so regarding the wind... What size kite would you bring?

when the storm fronts come through ,its 18-25 knots .did you know Trent first started as a kite adventure boat way back ,best
talk to Trent Moon (moon tours).or Paul,( Xperience travel.) both been there many times ...or check forecast before flying .

If you're riding a surfboard- Most windy days when I was there were 10m conditions, but there were a couple of 7m days. Learn to boat launch your kite if you can't already- there are very few opportunities to rig on a beach!
