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.

Staff were super friendly and always came around to make sure everyone on board was okay and were always happy to help. Everything was super organized and on point to make sure everyone had a great day and to make sure no one missed out on anything. Morning tea had a range of treats, hot foods and unfortunately for the captain, but great for the passengers - free ice cream! (Note- this probably won't happen on all trips- one of the staff accidentally broke the glass on the ice cream freezer) Overall, it was a great day, everyone was super positive and had a high energy attitude. We were able to cruise up the beach to just before the start of the Hill Inlet entrance & the north end of the beach. There was enough time for relaxing, tanning, swimming & if anyone wanted to do some walking tracks (approx 2 hours on the beach). I would highly recommend Cruise Whitsundays & their half day tour! :)

It was a good day, smooth transport over to Whitehaven. Super friendly and helpful staff. The afternoon tea was simple but good, plates could have been bigger. It is fairly expensive when it is basically a transport to a beach for two hours, so maybe something to bear in mind.

The trip was amazing! There was so much food, and the guides were really informative. The loud speaker on the boat was inaudible, however it was run so smoothly we didn't feel like we missed anything. The rainforest walk up the mountain was spectacular!
