Viper | Whitsunday Island Jet Boat Tour

Depart Airlie Beach

Check in at Meeting Point B at the Coral Sea Marina at 7:45am, ready for an 8:00am departure. Here you'll be greeted by members of the crew, and get acquainted with fellow adventure seekers. Once on board, get prepared for the time of your life as you set off to Whitehaven Beach in impressive speed. 

Hill Inlet Lookout and Whitehaven Beach

Just 45 minutes after departing Airlie Beach, you'll arrive at Tongue Bay before disembarking right onto Whitsunday Island. From here, one of the crew will take you on a short 15 minute guided eco bushwalk up to the Hill Inlet lookouts to marvel at the unparalleled beauty below. With the purest white silica sand and the most stunning turquoise waters as far as the eyes can see, Whitehaven is rightly considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Here, they'll give you a short talk about the beach, the history of the islands and some interesting facts about the area. With 3 different lookouts offering 3 slightly different views of the beach below, it's the ideal opportunity to get some pictures that'll make your friends jealous, at one of the most photographed places in the world. As the tides ebb and flow throughout the day, the view changes constantly, with each being as beautiful a the last.

After spending some time on the beach below, you'll get back onto Viper before arriving at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach in a flash, where you'll get to spend some time swimming or sunbathing. Here you'll enjoy the delicious buffet style lunch on the beach, and soon after get back onto Viper before beginning the next exciting part of the journey.  

Snorkelling

Your next part of the journey will take you snorkelling at some of the most stunning reefs in the area. The skipper will decide on the day the most perfect spots to take you. These could include Manta Ray Bay, Dumbell Island, Mackerel Bay, Luncheon Bay or Blue Pearl Bay to name a few. There are literally thousands of species of fish as well as dolphins, rays, turtles and sharks in the Whitsundays, so you're almost certain to see some of these as you gaze on the most spectacular underwater worlds from above. Your snorkel tour will be guided by a marine biologist, who can provide as much insight and information about what you're witnessing. There will also be an opportunity to use the crocpad and waterslide here.

Return to Airlie Beach

Your day will conclude with an exhilarating journey back to Airlie Beach, as you cruise back through the islands at high speed. Make sure to keep a keen eye out for dolphins and turtles, as sightings of these are extremely common and are truly amazing to see in the wild. You will arrive back to Airlie Beach between 4:30pm and 5:30pm, meaning that you have the rest of the afternoon and evening to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Airlie Beach.
