About this experience
This Whitsunday Islands catamaran cruise is a full-day sailing trip departing from the Port of Airlie in Airlie Beach, covering some of the most photographed stretches of coastline in Queensland. The vessel is Camira, the largest sailing catamaran operating in the Whitsundays, and the capped passenger capacity keeps the experience comfortable throughout the nine-hour day. The route passes Whitsunday, Daydream, Hamilton, and Hook islands before reaching the two headline stops. At Hill Inlet, a guided walk leads up to the lookout where the swirling tidal patterns across the sandbanks are visible from above, though access is tidal dependent. From there, guests step onto Whitehaven Beach, a seven-kilometre stretch of fine white silica sand consistently rated among Australia's best. Snorkelling the fringing reef is included, with equipment provided on board. The day also covers morning and afternoon tea, a BBQ lunch, beer and wine from 11 am, and soft drinks and water throughout. Tickets include the roundtrip catamaran journey, all guided activities, and meals. Hotel transfers are not included. Those combining this with broader Queensland travel can explore things to do in Cairns as part of a longer itinerary.
