1. Amazing value for money
2 or 3 day cruises on catamarans in the Whitsundays offer exceptional value for money. When you pay for your ticket, everything is included! Though the price tag may be higher than a day trip or a backpacker boat, catamarans give you so much value for what you spend.
Common inclusions on a catamaran 3 day cruise:
- 3 nights of accommodation in a comfy cabin
- Fresh linens
- Toilets and hot showers
- All meals and snacks
- Expert skipper and host onboard
- Space to store your things
- Snorkelling equipment
- Paddleboards, jacuzzis, or other unique inclusions
And when you think about what you might spend for food, accommodation, and activities on land for a day, you'd be amazed at what great value a catamaran is.
2. Quality time at sea for your 2 or 3 day cruises
This is an underrated reason to book a catamaran cruise in the Whitsundays. Spending a few days at sea is a magical experience that absolutely trumps a day tour. Sitting on the deck of the catamaran and admiring the tropical scenery throughout your 3 day cruise is breathtaking. And you'll get to witness spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the ocean. This alone is reason enough to book a multiday tour in the Whitsundays!
3. Aventure activities
Catamarans also provide lots of opportunities for fun and adventure. With longer tours that are 2 or 3 days, you can have lots of time for water sports and exploring the islands. Most tours will bring you to the famous Whitehaven Beach where you can hike up to Hill Inlet Lookout. But you can also snorkel or paddleboard over the flourishing Great Barrier Reef! Every catamaran has different inclusions, but you'll definitely have an adventurous trip.
4. Upscale amenities
If you want a slightly more upscale 3 day cruise in the Whitsundays, catamarans provide that extra touch of luxury while still being affordable. Most catamarans are sleek and modern, with comfortable areas to lounge, dine, and socialise. Some have shared cabins and private cabins, and all have private toilets with hot showers. The elegant vessels slice through the water with ease, all while giving you a sense of comfort and relaxation at sea.
5. Small group tours
Because catamarans focus on quality over quantity, your catamaran tour will always be a relatively small group. Most catamarans take between 8 and 18 guests, meaning the vessel will never get too crowded. You can bond with your small group of fellow travellers, but it won't be a party tour. Enjoy a low-key but fun, social experience as you cruise through the Whitsundays on a fabulous catamaran tour!
