What to Expect

Cruise across the Whitsundays in comfort aboard a high-speed, wave-piercing catamaran designed for stability and a smooth ride. With a travel time of just over one hour each way, you’ll have more time to enjoy the pristine white sands and turquoise waters of Whitehaven Beach.

Upon arrival, settle into your exclusive Beach Club area, complete with shaded lounges, stand-up paddle boards, and beach games for both kids and adults. You’ll have over four hours of beach time to swim, paddle, or simply unwind in paradise.

If you’re looking to explore, take a self-guided bushwalk from the southern end of Whitehaven to the scenic Southern Lookout. This short walk rewards you with panoramic views of the Whitsunday Islands and the endless blue horizon. Keep an eye out for local marine life—small fish, stingrays, and even sea turtles can often be spotted in the shallows.

For those wanting to experience more, an optional guided snorkelling tour is available. You’ll travel to a nearby island to swim along a fringing reef, discovering colourful corals and vibrant tropical fish. All equipment and safety instructions are provided.

A freshly prepared buffet lunch is included in your tour, featuring locally sourced produce and catering to a wide range of dietary needs. Morning and afternoon snacks are also provided, with beverages available for purchase on board and at the beach.
