Embark on a half-day scenic cruise through the Whitsunday Islands to Whitehaven Beach, direct from Airlie Beach. Relax inside the air-conditioned catamaran or soak up the sunshine on the 360° top deck.  Arrive at Shute Harbour and board your comfortable catamaran. Choose to relax inside the air-conditioned interior or soak up the panoramic views from the open-top deck. Enjoy a cold drink or a complementary tea/coffee on board as you cruise around the stunning Whitsunday Islands. As you take in the sights, the crew will provide insightful commentary about the history and geography of the islands. Purchase extra drinks at the bar on board, and feel free to pick up a stinger suit for the water. It only takes approximately 1 hour until we arrive at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach and disembark. Explore the beach, relax on the white-sand shores, or bathe in the turquoise sea. After roughly three hours, when all the guests are onboard, the catamaran will begin her journey back to the mainland.
