Whitsundays Cruise and Whitehaven Beach Half Day Cruise
Find yourself in awe of the beauty of the Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, an uninhabited island and one of Australia’s most famous destinations. Hop aboard the luxurious and comfortable cruise vessel and see the very best of the national park during this half day tour. While en route to the island, learn about the history and natural wonders of the area thanks to the interesting commentary that your friendly skipper will provide. Then, sit back, relax and marvel at the beauty of the 74 Island Wonders of the Whitsundays, starting with the breathtaking views of Passage Peak and Pentecost Island. From there, you’ll be taken to the world famous Whitehaven Beach, easily one of the best locations in the Whitsundays, for some free time. Known for its crystal clear waters and white sand beaches that over a seven kilometer long stretch, the beach is the most photographed in Australia and named “Queensland’s Most Beautiful Beach.” Spend the rest of the half day tour exploring the natural wonder. Lounge on the beach, stroll along the sand, or take a dip in the ocean - a wonderful way to spend the morning or the afternoon!
