No. This itinerary combines time at Whitehaven Beach with snorkelling at Chalkies Beach. Hill Inlet and its lookout are part of a separate tour, so choose a dedicated Hill Inlet experience if seeing the famous swirling-sand view is a priority.

Chalkies Beach is a fringing-reef snorkelling location beside Haslewood Island within the Whitsundays. It is not an outer-reef site such as Bait Reef. If outer Great Barrier Reef snorkelling is your main priority, consider the Full-Day Great Barrier Reef Snorkel Tour from Hamilton Island instead.

Previous snorkelling experience is not required, but you must be confident in the water and able to swim. The crew provides equipment fitting, personalised instruction and in-water assistance, with flotation devices available when required.

The tour departs from Hamilton Island Marina at 8:00am and is scheduled to return at around 3:00pm. Follow the meeting and check-in instructions on your booking confirmation, as marina arrangements can occasionally change.

Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are included. A licensed bar is available onboard for additional drinks and snacks, which can be purchased separately. Please provide any dietary requirements when booking so they can be passed to the catering team in advance.

Yes. It can be a good full-day option for families who want to combine Whitehaven Beach with snorkelling. Children must be at least 5 years old, and anyone taking part in the snorkelling must be able to swim. Equipment, flotation devices and crew assistance are available to help guests feel more comfortable in the water.

The order of Whitehaven Beach and Chalkies Beach, as well as the time spent on different parts of the experience, may change with weather, tides and sea conditions. The crew plans the route around the conditions on the day while keeping the main beach and snorkelling experiences wherever operations allow.
