Tour Details
Private Whitsundays and Snorkel Charter
Board one of the fastest and sleekest catamarans in the Whitsunday Islands, for an exciting day down under! You will depart from Arlie Beach on this sleek, comfortable catamaran with onboard facilities and individual seats with back support.
The catamaran is extremely stable, custom built for the Whitsunday conditions, and a great choice for those who want to visit the islands without having to go by smaller craft and taking the chance of a less smooth ride. You will be treated to a homemade gluten-free brownie as you soak in the scenery.
Arrive at Whithaven Beach, famous for its crystal-clear waters and perfect 98 percent silica white sand. This 7km long beach is among the most photographed in the world and a must-see for all travelers in the area. You will also enjoy a guided bush walk to Hill Inlet Lookout in Whitsunday Island National Park to see the swirling sand patterns made by the shifting tides.
Take a break with a delicious buffet lunch including frittatas, salads, meats and cheeses and bread rolls, then make your way to two well-known snorkeling spots to explore the fringes of the Great Barrier Reef. Additional soft drinks can be purchased onboard or you may bring your own and they can be stored for you (no glass or red wine is allowed to be brought onboard).
Stonehaven Bay offers beautiful coral and marine life and is one of the quietest snorkeling spots in the Whitsundays. Manta Ray Bay, one of the most popular snorkeling spots in the area, has an array of underwater valleys, caves and plenty of different tropical fish types to see.
Relax in the afternoon with fresh and succulent fruit kebabs on your return ride to Airlie Beach. This all-inclusive excursion provides you with snorkeling equipment, stinger-suits and wet-suits (in the winter months); all you need to bring is your sense of fun and adventure.
This full-day, private tour is the best way to travel around the Whitsunday Islands in one day, book today and don't miss out!
