Viper is the only tour fast enough to get you to the hero destinations all in one day! No other tour can have you snorkelling on the outer Great Barrier Reef, doing the Hill Inlet bushwalk, and relaxing on Whitehaven Beach itself, in just a single day.
Our Marine Biologist on board conducts a guided snorkel safari on the reef for those who are interested. The spacious swim platform and in-water stairs make getting in and out of the water easy.
Our Rolls Royce jets offer comfortable but fast cruising speeds of around 36 knots, with very little environmental impact.
Due to the speed and manoeuvrability of the boat, all passengers MUST be 130cm or taller to ride.

5.00Amazing trip - it is a very fast boat which meant we were able to reach Whitehaven early & it was almost empty at that time. Also meant that we could reach the outer reef where the corals and snorkelling were incredible. Nice crew - Nico, Will and Hayley were all super friendly, helpful and informative throughout. They had simple but good food (salads, pasta, bread rolls & sliced chicken/ham plus some fruits later on). Overall highly recommended!
Spectacular trip with an amazing crew!

5.00Very exciting, fast boat, is very bumpy, outer reef coral is more beautiful, but the waves that day a little big, very good trip, visited Hill Bay observation deck, lay on the white sand beach for an hour, generally very recommended, compared to the red and yellow families, only this one is to the outer reef, the rest are nearby snorkeling
Stunning beach and views.

4.00Unfortunately the weather didn't know we were wanting to see the barrier reef and the swells were too high to get out there. The staff informed us of this and took us too another reef that was safe and were superb in doing so, the information given and the friendly nature of those guys made the trip worth while despite the initial disappointment. Food supplied was plentiful and good for a trip like this, drinks though being charge @ $4 each would have been a little expensive but due to not getting to view the reef were offered free. The overall trip was great and well organised, the White haven beach visit, the walk to the look out all great to be done in one day. Only thing i would add negatively is that this is not a placid ride, if you are travelling with anyone who is slightly scared pick a more sedate way of getting there.
Amazing day
