This full-day tour in the Whitsunday Region combines snorkeling, bushwalking, and relaxing on stunning beaches. You can choose between two options: the Northern Whitehaven tour for snorkel enthusiasts visiting two snorkel spots, or the Southern Whitehaven tour focusing on beach time and a guided walk to Hill Inlet Lookout.

Travel on fast, custom-built semi-rigid inflatable vessels that speed through the islands at up to 65 km/h. Enjoy snorkeling at coral reefs, swim in clear turquoise waters, and take in spectacular views from Hill Inlet Lookout. Both tours include a tropical-style lunch served on Whitehaven Beach.

The tours suit those who want an active day exploring marine life and natural beauty, or those preferring more time to relax on the beach. Expert guides provide snorkel instruction and naturalist talks to enrich your experience.
