Walk up to Hill Inlet Lookout with a guide

Join a guide for a bush walk of about 45 minutes to Hill Inlet Lookout. Walk uphill for about 15 minutes, spend 15 minutes taking in the views and photos across the lookouts, then walk down for 15 minutes. Look down on the famous swirls created where white silica sand meets turquoise water.
The natural trail has stairs and slopes and requires a moderate level of fitness, so please wear comfortable walking shoes.
Snorkel a fringing reef

Have lunch and relax at South Whitehaven Beach

Land at South Whitehaven Beach and spend about an hour having lunch, enjoying the sand, taking a quick swim or relaxing. Lunch is a buffet-style spread with sliced salami, roast beef, ham off the bone, three salads, wraps and sauces. It is not all-you-can-eat, but extra servings may be available once everyone has been served.
Afternoon fruit is provided, and a shared shade cabana and beach games are available when possible.
