What to expect

Two ticket options on Super Flyer: choose beach-only or beach + snorkel. The only Whitsundays tour where snorkellers and non-snorkellers travel together on the same boat.

Super Flyer is an 80-passenger air-conditioned catamaran with indoor seating, two bathrooms, two changing rooms, outdoor sun loungers and a licensed bar.

A Whitsundays First: Two Tickets, One Boat

The only Whitsundays day tour where snorkellers and non-snorkellers travel together. A non-swimmer can come with a snorkeller, or a family with mixed-age children can travel as one group. On other tours, someone has to sit out and watch from the boat.

Air-conditioned indoor seating, outdoor sun loungers (top deck adults only), two bathrooms, two changing rooms, free tour photos, free water refills (bring your own bottle).
