Whitehaven Beach Day Cruises

Enjoy relaxing on the pure white sand of Whitehaven Beach. You can walk along the seven kilometer stretch of natural silica sand, partake in beach activities, swim in crystal clear water or lay back and read a good book. There is no better place to unwind then finding your own slice of paradise and feeling the ocean breeze sweep over you as your body melts into the sand.

The only way to truly experience one of the world's best beaches is in style and comfort aboard a large, high-speed and air-conditioned catamaran.

Picturesque Whitehaven Beach is one of the Whitsundays premier natural attractions - seven kilometers (five miles) of glistening white silica sand complemented by crystal clear waters. Located on Whitsunday Island, the largest island in the region, Whitehaven Beach is fully protected and uninhabited due to its National and Marine Park status. Its shallows are graced by various species of turtles, and these ancient creatures are often sighted during daily visits.

Swim in the crystal clear waters, take a leisurely walk along the pristine beach, join in the beach games or just relax and soak up the sunshine.

Choose between a half-day Whitehaven Beach Cruise or a full-day two island Whitehaven Beach via Hamilton Island cruise. Visit cosmopolitan Hamilton Island, the largest island resort in the South Pacific which boasts an exciting mix of things to see and do including seven pools, boutiques, galleries, bars, a number of restaurants, over 40 optional activities, walking trails and a koala and wildlife gallery before heading for the highlight, spectacular Whitehaven Beach.
