Cruise Whitsundays – Full-day trip to Great Barrier Reef

Discover the beauty and diversity of the Great Barrier Reef with a visit to some of its most secluded and precious areas on this unforgettable day trip from Hamilton Island. Here’s why you’ll love your experience:

• Small tour group. Numbers for this trip are kept well under capacity to ensure you’re able to enjoy your reef experience with as much space – and peace and quiet – as possible.
• Visit pristine, less-visited areas of the Reef. Your tour includes a stop at Bait Reef – a special management area with pristine coral structures and an incredible display of marine life. You will also visit renowned dive sites at Stepping Stones, Paradise Lagoon and Banjouras Lagoon.
• Travel in comfort. You will travel to the Reef on board one of Hamilton Island’s purpose-built, 24-metre catamarans. As well as a dive platform with hydraulically lowered stairs, each catamaran boasts lounge style seating, an air-conditioned interior, partially shaded deck, and freshwater hot and cold showers.
• Quality equipment. High-quality Mares diving and snorkelling gear, wetsuits/stinger suits, and flotation jackets (if required) are supplied.
• Splash, snorkel, dive or soak up the reef. With all the equipment provided, you will have plenty of opportunities to snorkel around Bait Reef Marine Park. You can also spend your time diving, swimming or simply splashing about and enjoying the beauty of this world heritage area.

Cruise Whitsundays – Half-day trip to Whitehaven Beach

No visit to the Whitsundays would be complete without a visit to the pristine and world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Cruise to Whitehaven Beach in air-conditioned comfort on board a Cruise Whitsundays ferry-style catamaran, and spend your time soaking up the beauty of the Whitsunday Islands.

• Explore Southern Whitehaven Beach. See for yourself what makes this beach such a pure and pristine natural wonder.
• Beach activities. Simply relax on the beach, take a swim, or get involved in some fun, family-friendly beach activities.
• Visit the lookout. If you’re feeling particularly energetic, you can take a walk to Solway Lookout, which offers some of the best views out over the islands.
