Sample Itinerary
Whitehaven Beach
Guiding you through some of the most stunning sights in the world, cruise on Powerplay towards the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Known for its dazzling white silica sand beaches that stretch for seven uninterrupted kilometres, Whitehaven is unlike anything you've ever seen before. You can bask in the sun, walk on the shoreline or swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. Boasting stunning views of the neighbouring islands, Whitsunday Island is a beach-lovers dream! Featuring unique and wondrous landscapes, bold and bright colours and wonderful native animals, this is your own personal paradise!
Hill Inlet Lookout
Once you've had your fill of the sea, you'll be guided to Hill Inlet Lookout where you'll be dazzled by the incredible views below! The famed swirling sands below offer up an incredible sight, creating a masterpiece of aqua, azure, topaz and white as the colours of the ocean and silica sands blend together for a truly magical experience.
Snorkelling
You'll be led to a number of gorgeous snorkel locations where you'll get to explore the inner fringing reefs of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park with a snorkel! Your crew will teach you about the reefs you visit and what to keep an eye out for - each reef is unique and home to an array of amazing marine life waiting for you to explore!
Watersports
Powerplay hosts double inflatable kayaks and paddleboards so guests can enjoy the reef in an entirely new way! Paddle around the beautiful fringing reefs of the Great Barrier Reef and enjoy this unique view of the islands, reefs and coves of the Whitsundays. Definitely one of Powerplay's best assets, the heated spa is a popular feature among all passengers. It's perfect for warming up after your water activities, or for enjoying an evening beverage while lounging and star-gazing! If you're looking for an equally relaxing but dry alternative, opt for the trampoline nets at the front of the boat.
Underwater Blue Lights
Blue lights are amazing for attracting marine life and make for the perfect show at the end of the day. The underwater blue light entertainment starts after the sun goes down, where you'll have the chance to see giant trevallies, bait fish, squid and even dolphins that come to see what the light is all about! This unique feature is an amazing way to see elusive marine life to enjoy a show unlike any other.
