Your crew of knowledgeable locals will take you on an adventure through the dazzling sights of the Whitsunday Islands. Embark on a light, 10-minute bushwalk through the lush, native fauna found only at Hill Inlet. Keep your eye out for rare bird species, goannas and native yams sprouting as you marvel at the dense, tropical ecosystems thriving in this untouched wonderland. Drink in the spectacular, vibrant views from Hill Inlet Lookout once you reach the top. The shifting sands and shades of turquoise water are constantly changing with the tides, and will leave you with memories and photographs of Whitehaven that are completely unique to you! Try spotting some lemon reef sharks and stingrays in Whitehaven’s waters, as you listen to your guide illuminate the rich Indigenous and geological history of this Whitsunday wonder!

Whitehaven Beach

A globally renowned tropical paradise, that has even been used as a movie set, Whitehaven Beach is home to the world’s purest silica sands! The soft, bright white sands of Whitehaven are in fact made up of 98.9% silica, a powder formed by ancient currents and volcanic activity. Laze upon the powdery, pristine stretches of Whitehaven sand, which reflect the sun and never heat up! Take a dip in the crystal clear waters and take a moment to cherish the moment while you bask in the golden glow of such a unique, stunning ecosystem. With plenty of time anchored, guests can explore Whitehaven Beach to their hearts’ content, so ask your local guide about secret bays and hidden gems on Whitehaven as you tailor your own, island adventure!

The boat was lovely & clean. Natalia was amazing, so friendly and professional. She is also a very good cook. Snorkelling stops were amazing and we had the Hill Inlet lookout all to ourselves. Perfect timing. Thank you to the crew!
