Whitehaven Beach Full-Day Luxury Eco-Catamaran Cruise

Glide across turquoise Whitsunday waters aboard a premium catamaran to Whitehaven Beach — seven kilometres of the world's purest silica sand — with snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef included. The definitive Whitsundays day on the water.

What to expect

Depart Abel Point Marina and cruise through the island chain, arriving at Whitehaven's shimmering silica shore where you can walk to the Hill Inlet lookout for the iconic swirling tidal view. The catamaran anchors at a pristine fringing reef for guided snorkelling among coral gardens and tropical fish. A generous onboard buffet with Australian wines and cold drinks is served as you cruise. Crew are knowledgeable marine naturalists who bring the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem to life.
