This full-day Whitsundays cruise from Airlie Beach is perfect for couples, families, and adventurers keen to snorkel, hike, and explore in one epic day.
Spend two hours on Whitehaven Beach’s dazzling silica sand, then follow your guide on a scenic bush walk to Hill Inlet for incredible island views.
Snorkel vibrant inner fringing reefs at Mantaray and Stonehaven Bays, spotting clownfish, giant wrasse, sea turtles, and colourful coral just off the shore.
Enjoy a chef-prepared lunch, plus morning and afternoon tea, with bus transfers from Airlie Beach making your day hassle-free.
Fun fact: Whitehaven’s sand is 98.9% pure silica—it doesn’t retain heat, so even on hot days, you can walk barefoot on the beach without burning your feet.
