About this experience
Daydream Island: Boat Cruise from Airlie Beach + Lunch + Drink is a full-day cruise departing from Port of Airlie, at 33 Port Drive, connecting passengers to Daydream Island in the Whitsundays. The crossing gives access to one of the few island resorts in the region with a dedicated marine exhibit, and the round trip runs approximately eight hours in total. Note that this cruise does not operate from Cairns, so travellers based further north should factor in travel time to Airlie Beach before booking. Once on the island, guests receive a two-course lunch at a local restaurant and bar, plus one included drink chosen from beer, wine, or soft drink. Free time allows for a visit to the Living Reef, an open-air coral lagoon home to over 100 marine species, or relaxation by the pool with open ocean views. Non-motorised water activities are available subject to conditions on the day. Hotel transfers, infant meals, and additional snacks or drinks are not included in the ticket price. The cancellation policy is date-based, so review the terms at the time of booking. Wheelchair access is not available on this cruise.
