Scenic Half-Day Whitsunday Island & Whitehaven Beach Cruise with Morning Tea
Explore the jewel of the Whitsunday Islands with a relaxing half-day morning cruise that brings you directly into the heart of the Whitsundays, departing from Daydream Island. Cruise through the scenic waterways connecting these picture-perfect isles of the Great Barrier Reef before alighting for two hours at Whitsunday Island. Here, you’ll sink your toes into the sandy swath of Whitehaven Beach – a dazzling seven kilometre stretch of stark white sands fringed by azure seas. Slip into the cool water for a swim, sprawl out on a beach towel or challenge the Solway Circuit walk for exceptional views of the archipelago. Take a moment to embrace the sea breeze as you enjoy morning tea to nourish you on your day of unforgettable adventures.
