About this tour
Catch the Whitsundays' golden hour aboard the Sundowner, a purpose-built catamaran designed for comfort and conversation. This 2-hour evening cruise departs Airlie Beach with a welcoming bar, shared antipasto platter, and Australian sparkling on arrival. The flat deck layout—no heels-catching hazards—gives you room to sprawl across central seating or claim an ottoman with unobstructed island views as the sun melts into the Coral Sea.

What to expect
You'll arrive 15 minutes early and step aboard a vessel built for mingling rather than posing. The open floor plan encourages movement—grab a spot at the central table to chat with other guests, or claim a side ottoman if you're after a quieter perch with your person. Nibble antipasto and nurse a complimentary sparkling while the light shifts across the water. The bar stays open throughout, so top-ups cost extra. As the sun approaches the horizon, the deck fills with that soft golden glow that makes every photo look effortless.
