The Whitehaven Beach Club option gives you the most time on the beach. If you choose snorkelling, Hill Inlet or the Ultimate Whitehaven Experience, part of your day is used for those activities, so you will have less free time on the sand. Exact timings and the order of activities can change with weather, tides and operating conditions.

No. You can choose the Whitehaven Beach Club or Whitehaven + Hill inlet bushwalk option and enjoy the beach, paddleboards, beach games or Hill Inlet without joining the snorkel. Basic swimming ability is required if you select an option that includes snorkelling.

Snorkelling is available for guests aged 6 and over, or younger guests who are competent swimmers. Basic swimming ability is required. Children under 12 must wear a life jacket during water activities and remain under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Snorkelling equipment is included, and stinger suits are provided during stinger season.

The Hill Inlet walk is short but uphill, with steps and some uneven ground. Queensland Parks grades the 1.4-kilometre return walk as easy to moderate and suggests allowing around 40 minutes. If stairs or uneven walking are difficult for you, choose an option without Hill Inlet.

Yes. The Beach Club gives families a relaxed base for the day, with shaded areas, paddleboards, beach games, lunch and snacks included. Families travelling with young children may prefer the Whitehaven Beach Club option, as it offers the most time on the beach without snorkelling or the Hill Inlet walk. If you choose an option with snorkelling, check the age and swimming requirements above before booking. Children must remain under the supervision of a parent or guardian throughout the tour.

The Beach Club setup includes shared shade, paddleboards and beach games. Public toilet facilities are available at Whitehaven Beach, although they may not be immediately beside the Beach Club area, and water bottles can be refilled onboard. Facilities are simple, so bring the essentials listed in What To Bring.

The buffet lunch is included, but special diets are not specifically catered for. If you have an allergy or strict dietary requirement, contact us before booking and bring suitable food or snacks for the day if needed.

The catamaran is designed for a stable ride, but conditions can still be choppy. If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking your usual motion-sickness medication before departure, following the product directions or your pharmacist’s advice. Preventatives may also be available to buy onboard.
