Airlie Beach Whitehaven Beach & Snorkeling Eco Cruise - Lunch Buffet Included

Sail by catamaran from Airlie Beach
to Whitehaven Beach and the reef

This Whitsunday Islands day cruise checks in at Coral Sea Marina at 8:20 AM, departs at 9:00 AM and returns around 5:00 PM. Choose a ticket that combines reef snorkeling with beach time, or one that spends the whole day on Whitehaven Beach without snorkeling. Both tickets travel together on the same boat, so non-swimmers and families with children can stay as one group. The operator is a local family business founded by a marine biologist and holds Advanced Ecotourism certification from Ecotourism Australia.

Snorkel the reef for 60 minutes with a guide

With the snorkel ticket, you transfer from Super Flyer to a smaller fast boat and head to a fringing reef for a 60-minute guided snorkel with a marine-qualified safety guide. Sanitized snorkel gear and a stinger suit are provided. Afterwards you spend 2+ hours on Whitehaven Beach and walk to South Whitehaven Lookout.

Spend a relaxed day on Whitehaven Beach

The full-day ticket without snorkeling gives you 4 to 5 hours on Whitehaven Beach. A guided 900 m walk to South Whitehaven Lookout reveals a 120-degree view across about 7 km of beach. On-demand water taxis between the boat and the beach run all day with no limit.

Relax aboard the air-conditioned Super Flyer

Super Flyer is an air-conditioned catamaran for 80 passengers with indoor seating, outdoor sun loungers (upper deck adults only), 2 toilets and 2 changing rooms.
