Excursion Whitehaven beach escape by catamaran tour at Airlie Beach

Overview

Sail through the Whitsunday Islands by catamaran to reach Whitehaven Beach, where soft silica sand and clear waters invite relaxed exploration. Enjoy free time to swim, stroll, or simply unwind on this remote stretch of coastline before returning to the ship with a packed lunch.

Highlights

• Cruise across the Whitsunday Islands, taking in wide ocean views and the shifting blues of the Coral Sea.

• Step onto fine silica sand that stays cool underfoot, offering a tactile and distinctly different beach experience.

• Relax at your own pace with time to swim, walk along the shoreline, or take in the natural setting from Hill Inlet Lookout.

Important Details

• Guests must be fully mobile and able to walk a flight of stairs. Guests will transfer from catamaran to smaller tenders and then onto the beach, wet landing.

• Walking is at guest discretion. Terrain at Whitehaven Beach is uneven, sand.

• Not suitable for guests utilising a wheelchair.

• Very limited shade, no beach umbrellas or chairs. This is a beach on a desserted island.

• Guests are recommended to bring towel, hat, sunscreen, and wear swimmers under their clothes; a packed lunch and one drink (beer, wine, or soft drink) are included.
