The Experience

What your day looks like

Enjoy a bird’s eye view of many of the 74 Whitsunday Islands, fly over Whitehaven Beach, and picture postcard Hill Inlet before heading out to the Great Barrier Reef and experiencing one of the most photographed reef locations, Heart Reef. The comfortable fixed-wing aircraft offers guaranteed window seats with big window viewing, pilot commentary, and the best views of the Whitsundays! Following your flight, enjoy an Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure adventure. Enjoy snorkeling around Hook Island including Mantaray Bay, Maureen's Cove and other specially selected Whitsunday snorkeling spots, ensuring a memorable underwater experience. The tour also includes a visit to the stunning beach at Hill Inlet, the north end of Whitehaven Beach, and a guided National Park walk to Hill Inlet lookout above the silica sand of Whitehaven. We are the only tour to have direct access to Hill Inlet beaches, where you can explore, enjoy a tropical buffet-style lunch served at the beach and swim in the crystal clear turquoise ocean or just relax on the silica white sand. Small groups allow you to experience this tropical paradise away from the crowds. The semi rigid inflatable vessels are super fast allowing guests to experience a fun ride, adventure and education amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays. A tropical-style lunch is served at the beach with plenty of time to swim in the turquoise ocean or just relax on the silica white sand. The Skipper and Eco Host will ensure guests have a fun filled adventure and personalized service with snorkel lessons and a guided National Park walk in the Whitsunday Islands.
