Spend a full day at the 7 km-long Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, on this guided cruise from the Port of Airlie in Airlie Beach. The day lasts about 11 hours with a live guide, and the boat makes brief stops at Daydream Island and Hamilton Island to collect more guests on the way.

Your visit begins at the northern end of Whitehaven Beach with a guided trip to Hill Inlet. Follow the path once walked by the Ngaro people and take in the views from Hill Inlet Lookout. The tour then moves to the southern end of the beach, where you have time to relax on the sand, enjoy the sun, walk to the Southern Lookout or join in beach activities.

A BBQ on the beach is part of the day, together with morning and afternoon tea, and protective stinger suits are provided. In all, about six hours are spent at Whitehaven Beach. A moderate level of fitness and agility is recommended, as the day includes bushwalking and climbing, and the itinerary can change with the weather and wind.
