About this experience
What to expect
Board the Whitehaven vessel for the scenic cruise to the magnificent beach, with a brief pick-up stop at Daydream and Hamilton Island to collect more guests.
Enjoy morning or afternoon tea. Your cruise vessel has expansive seating areas inside and out and your skipper will provide an informative commentary on the history and natural wonders of the area.
Sit back, breathe in the sea air, sip a wine or beer, and marvel at the 74 Island Wonders of the Whitsundays, starting with views of Passage Peak and the Pentecost Island. The waters of Solway Passage lead you to Whitehaven Beach, a must-see in the Whitsundays.
