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 as you marvel at the 74 Island Wonders of the Whitsundays, starting with views of Passage Peak and the imposing Pentecost Island.
Whitehaven Beach – Begin your Whitehaven experience ashore at the Southern end where our crew will advise of the times for the day’s activities
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 sands stretch for over seven kilometres along Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. Wander along the beach to your own secluded stretch, laze on the sand or cool off in the azure waters. It is Mother Nature at her best. Walk up to the Solway Lookout and get your own selfie against the most photographed beach in Australia and named ‘Queensland’s Most Beautiful Beach’.
Time to head back – This is not just a ride back to Port, It’s a tour of the Whitsunday Islands
Settle down on board, grab your favourite drink or some afternoon tea and get ready for your ride around the Whitsunday Islands as you make your way back to Port.
