There's no other Whitsundays tour which can cruise all the way through the "postcard perfect" swirling sands of Hill Inlet.

Highlights

  • One of the fastest and most adventurous day boats in the Whitsundays
  • With great speed, there is less travel time and more time for activities

For a tour with more time at Whitehaven Beach check out Ocean Rafting's Southern Lights tour. On both tours, you will see Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet and have the chance to snorkel amongst vibrant coral reefs.
