Cruise from Airlie Beach to Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach with lunch, guided walks, island views, and a comfortable eco-certified catamaran.

“From courtesy bus pick up to drop off we had a fabulous day. The crew were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. There was no rush and the day included a couple of optional guided hike/walks. Food was plentiful and delicious. The boat was comfortable and very clean. We booked in advance and because we were not sure what the weather would be like this trip seemed a good option as the boat has large air conditioned areas. We are Aussies and would highly recommend this tour for a good trip around the islands and a swim at Whitehaven Beach.Read more”
