Give Whitehaven the time it deserves on a full-day adventure that brings together two of the Whitsundays’ signature landscapes with an Aussie BBQ beside the beach. Rather than rushing between short photo stops, you will spend around five hours across Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, with return transfers from selected Airlie Beach accommodation and the day’s island cruising organised for you.
Choose a spot upstairs for wide-open views across the Whitsunday Passage, or settle into the indoor or outdoor seating as the vessel cruises past tropical islands and along the full length of Whitehaven Beach. With toilets and a licensed bar onboard, you can relax into the journey while the changing coastline builds anticipation for the day ahead.
Step ashore at Whitehaven Beach for around three hours of swimming, silica-sand walks and time to enjoy the shoreline at your own pace. Join the optional guided walk to a separate Whitehaven Beach lookout, or keep the extra time for the water and sand. Lunch brings everyone together beneath the trees for a freshly prepared Aussie BBQ with steaks cooked to order and fresh salads.
Hill Inlet reveals a completely different side of Whitehaven. Follow your guide to the lookout for the famous patterns of swirling white sand and turquoise water, then spend time exploring Betty’s Beach, the sand dunes and the shallows below. The order and exact timing of the stops may change with tides, weather and operations, but the day is designed around unhurried time at both Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet.
I had an amazing time on the cruise to Whitehaven Beach! The views were absolutely breathtaking – the crystal-clear water and powdery white sand looked like something out of a dream. The crew on board was fantastic: young, friendly, always smiling, and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. They really made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The grilled food was delicious – fresh, tasty, and perfect after spending time on the beach. Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the Whitsundays. It’s a must-do experience!
What a great day at Whitehaven Beach! The boat, and food were superb! The crew Captain Dan, Jess and Tristan made it a super fun day! I would go back again and again if I could.
Really great day out, food was amazing and plenty to go around. Tour guides were so friendly and welcoming. Views and the beach were incredible. Spotted some turtles which was a plus! Thanks Captain Dan, Jess and Tristan! Would highly recommend!
I am so glad we went with this specific tour. Our guides, the boat, the bbq, were all amazing! Feels like you are getting a bespoke, high end local experience rather than a commerical tour. These guys know what they are doing and are super fun and friendly!
Had an absolutely fabulous day made even better with glorious weather. Tour guides Jess and Harry were really friendly and very informative and helpful. BBQ was great with a variety of food and plenty of it. Bush walks well worth it and the scenery was STUPENDOUS. Swimming opportunities at the beach and stinger suits provided. Would wholeheartedly recommend this experience!
Was a lovely day. The crew are amazing and they know so much about the area and are so informative. First stop is to a beautiful island to admire the views. Next stop is another beautiful white sanded beach for a tasty bbq. Last stop to some beautiful coral reef for some snorkelling. They take your safety so seriously and you always have one of the crew near by. Amazing from start to finish and really good value for money.
A really great tour with great people. Even if the tour flow changed little bit, it was a great experience. Our stop at Hill Inlet Outlook was amazing. We were almost alone for a longer time at the lookouts and the time at the beach under the look out was great. The BBQ was awesome as well. Thanks a lot to the three of you guys 🙂
