About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring two of the Whitsundays' most striking beaches aboard a fast catamaran helmed by local skippers. You'll anchor at Whitehaven Beach's southern stretch for around two and a half hours—swim, laze on the sand, or climb to the lookout—then head to Hill Inlet for equally long at the beach and its famous vantage point. Grilled lunch, morning and afternoon refreshments, stinger suits, and hotel pickups are all wrapped in.
Highlights
- Two and a half hours each at Whitehaven Beach South and Hill Inlet

- Rooftop seating and ability to move around underway on fast boat

What to expect
You'll board a purpose-built catamaran with indoor, semi-outdoor, and open-deck seating. After collecting passengers and setting out, you'll reach Whitehaven Beach's calmer southern end, where most of the day unfolds. Grab a cold drink from the licensed bar, eat lunch fresh off the grill, then either wade in, sunbake, or undertake the moderately steep walk to the lookout. Afternoon sailing takes you to Hill Inlet, where the turquoise shallows and elevated viewing platform deliver the postcard view. Cheese and biscuits await before the return journey.
