About this tour
Viper combines three Whitsunday highlights into a single 8-hour day: snorkelling the outer Great Barrier Reef with a marine biologist, walking to Hill Inlet's lookout, and beach time on Whitehaven. A jet catamaran gets you out and back fast—36 knots of speed means no reef time wasted on transit. The onboard platform and stairs make water entry straightforward, and you'll find WiFi, freshwater refills, and a buffet lunch included.

What to expect
You'll depart early and cruise to the outer reef, where the marine biologist leads a snorkel safari. The boat's swim platform and in-water stairs make entry and exit painless. After reef time, you head to Hill Inlet to walk to the lookout point and absorb the panoramic view, then settle on Whitehaven Beach itself for swimming and rest. The jet's speed keeps the day tight but relentless—expect quick transitions and no idle time. Lunch is a cold spread; morning and afternoon snacks keep energy up between stops.
Good to know
Minimum height is 130cm; the vessel's speed makes it unsuitable for young children, anyone with spinal concerns, or those needing mobility assistance. You must walk unassisted. Bring your own water bottle (station refills provided). Alcohol isn't sold aboard; if you bring cans (no glass), don't drink before or during snorkelling. Not recommended for cruise-ship passengers.
