Visit two of Australia’s best-loved destinations on a scenic Whitsundays cruise – Hamilton Island and Whitehaven Beach. Hamilton Island is a sophisticated, family-friendly resort, with excellent eating, drinking and shopping opportunities. Not far away on Whitsunday Island, glorious Whitehaven Beach is one Australia’s most beautiful stretches of sand

From Port of Airlie, cruise across the Whitsunday Passage and into the Whitsunday Islands. On Hamilton Island, hop-on/hop-off shuttle buses take you past key attractions and scenic lookouts. Cool-off in the main pool with its swim-up bar, visit iconic Catseye Beach, or browse the waterfront shops and galleries before lunch at Marina Tavern. You’ll also have the chance to explore Whitehaven Beach, where you can wander along the 7km shoreline – beachcombing, bushwalking and wading in the warm, crystal-clear water.

PLEASE NOTE: This tour does not visit Hill Inlet or the Hill Inlet Lookout. Hamilton Island is self guided, see desk for info.

    It was an amazing day at the spectacular Whitehaven beach. our guide, was very knowledgeable and a fun, easy-going person at the same time. He really took care of everything we needed and organized the day wonderfully. We could see every part of the island and had a great beach BBQ with plenty of food. We would recommend this whole-day tour for those who would love to explore the entire island.

  • Whitehaven on a sunny day is a must!!!

    Staff were helpful and friendly, boat was super clean, had a bonus whale watching trip whilst on board too... also got a stunning sunset cruise on the way back. Only thing I would say would be to serve the morning tea a little earlier as I felt that this was very rushed and not everyone who wanted some was able to get it. Whitehaven Beach and Hamilton Island trip was definitely the highlight of our Airlie Beach holiday

  • Amazing Full day!

    From start to finish it was faultless. The boat ride, morning tea, the staff, a sausage sizzle on the beach, the activities. Highly recommend this trip to everyone.

  • Awesome experience
