HALF DAY CRUISE
See the very best of the Whitsunday Islands National Park on this fully guided half day cruise.
Board our Whitehaven vessel for the scenic cruise to this magnificent beach. Your cruise vessel has expansive seating areas inside and out and your friendly 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 imposing Pentecost Island.
The waters of Solway Passage lead us to the world famous Whitehaven Beach, a definite'must see' in the Whitsundays. The crystal clear aqua waters and pristine white silica sand stretch for over seven kilometres along Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. It is Mother Nature at her best - the most photographed beach in Australia and named“Queensland’s Most Beautiful Beach”.
Wander along the beach to your own secluded stretch, laze on the beach or cool off in the azure waters.
Then it will be time to tear yourself away from Whitehaven Beach and cruise north up the eastern coast of the island past Hook Passage, one of the postcard scenes the Whitsundays are famous for.
Sea conditions permitting, your cruise will do a complete circumnavigation of Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the region, taking in gorgeous coastline and scenic bays.
Please Note: The half day cruises visit the main 7 kilometre Whitehaven Beach and do not include the Hill Inlet walk and visit.
