About this experience
Whitehaven Beach: Half-Day Morning or Afternoon Cruise is a seven-hour boat cruise departing from Port of Airlie, in the Whitsundays region of Queensland, that takes guests to the southern end of Whitehaven Beach, a 7 km stretch of fine silica sand. The vessel calls at Daydream Island and Hamilton Island to collect additional passengers before heading to the beach. The cruise operates in two daily sessions, morning and afternoon, giving flexibility for those planning a broader itinerary across Cairns attractions and the surrounding region. On arrival at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach, guests have up to two hours to use the beach freely. Activities on offer include swimming, hiking, beach games, and stand-up paddleboarding, subject to availability, or visitors can simply relax on the sand. The included two-hour southern Whitsunday tour also provides access to the Southern Whitehaven Beach Lookout, which gives a clear view along the sand. Tickets cover the boat cruise, morning or afternoon tea, protective stinger suits, and beach activities where available. Hotel transfers, drinks, snacks, shade cabana rental, and a Hill Inlet Lookout visit are not included. Booking departs from 33 Port Drive, Port of Airlie.
