    Overview

    From Port of Airlie, journey across the Whitsunday Passage and into this amazing tropical paradise – a scenic sequence of remote waterways and hidden bays. On the southern shores of Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 Whitsunday isles, famous Whitehaven Beach is a regular on lists of ‘World’s Best Beaches’. Wander along the sand, hike the short Solway Circuit for some show-stopping views, or cool off in the gently lapping water before your return cruise.

      Beautiful afternoon out on the water, cruise staff were great and of course Whitehaven Beach was next level beautiful. The whole trip was great value for money and well worth doing.

      It was a nice day over all Crew were so good and provided us with water , plenty of food and guidance. But the downside was; 1- This is a multi-stop route to Whitehaven ( as they go from Airlie Beach to Day Dream Island drop off guests and pick up other guests , followed by another stop at Hamilton Island for drop off and pick up , then end up in Whitehaven) so the trip takes 2.5 hours each way ) - so total of 5 hours is wasted of your day 2- That boat can fit more than 150 people , so it was really crowded with people on top of each other ( everyone had a seat , but still too crowded in my opinion ) 3- The indoor are was very smelly , I think the Carpet needs a good wash or replacement and the AC filters looks like they haven’t been replaced for years ( and showed errors on the LCD screen of the AC ) We ended up spending 1 hour and 45 minutes on Whitehaven beach , and 5 hours in transportation! Considerings the $$ paid , I Would try to find a trip that goes directly to Whitehaven beach ( not the Multi-stop option ) -
    • Great choice but plan it as an allday adventure.

      The day was great, and the cruise is an excellent choice for everyone. Morning tea consisted of some fresh fruit and cookies, with additional items available for purchase. Please note this morning cruise from Airlie departs at 7.15am and does not return to Airlie until approx 2.30pm and ours included a change of boat at Hamilton idea which caught everyone by surprise and created a lot of confusion and uncertainty.
