Full description
Cruise to Whitehaven Beach on this 6-hour cruise. Depart early in the morning on a high-speed vessel for a cruise through the Whitsunday Islands and be the first on the beach. Alternatively, depart later in the day and enjoy a sunset cruise home. Enjoy morning or afternoon tea. Board the Whitehaven vessel for the scenic cruise to the magnificent beach. Your cruise vessel has expansive seating areas inside and out and your skipper will provide an informative commentary on the history and natural wonders of the area. Sit back, breathe in the sea air, sip a wine or beer, and marvel at the 74 Island Wonders of the Whitsundays, starting with views of Passage Peak and the Pentecost Island. The waters of Solway Passage lead you to Whitehaven Beach, a must-see in the Whitsundays. Prepare to be dazzled by the breathtaking beauty and vivid white sand of Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island. This uninhabited island is one of Australia's true gems. Wander along the beach to your own secluded stretch, laze on the sand or cool off in the azure waters. After spending some time at the Southern end of Whitehaven Beach, make the beautiful journey back to Airlie Beach.

Perillier – FranceNovember 5, 2023 – Verified booking
The cruise is very nice and the site wonderful. But the announcements in the ferry are not very clear (bad quality of the sono and very strong Australian accent). Furthermore, the change time between the 2 ferries at the return was not respected (10 min instead of 25) and we missed the ferry. The unpleasant ladies at the desk in Hamilton island told us to buy a new ticket to go back to Airlie beach. In conclusion, a very poor quality of service, not customer oriented at all !

We Island hopped from Airlie Beach to Daydream Island, where some people got off, and others got on. Then onto Hamilton island, where everyone got off…Some to stay there and others like us, to get in a different boat to take us to Whitehaven beach. Hamilton Island is about 27km from Airlie Beach. Same route upon return The scenery is stunning, the water a deep turquoise and fantastic white sand. The lookout about Whitehaven beach was well worth the climb as the views were magnificent The water was warm and great to swim in.

It wasn’t very good value for money, I’d book with a different company. It advertises as a tour company but doubles up as a ferry service. So felt ripped off. It also advertised as sailing past the inconic Whitsundays swirling sand but did not. We just felt very mugged off. The boat was comfortable however and very nice food.
