Whitsundays Day Tour to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet with BBQ

228 Reviews

8 hours

Overview

This full-day Whitsundays boat tour is built around proper time on the beach rather than a quick photo stop. You’ll visit both Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, with around 2.5 hours at each area, and lunch is covered with a beach BBQ. Morning tea, afternoon snacks, refill water, stinger suits in season and courtesy accommodation transfers are also included. If you want a straightforward day trip that covers the big Whitsundays highlights without needing to organise extras, this is an easy option.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

For backpackers, the big draw is how much is bundled into one day. You get the headline Whitsundays spots, a decent amount of beach time, lunch, snacks and transfers without having to piece things together yourself. It’s not the cheapest day out, but it gives you long stops at the main locations rather than a rushed pass-through, which makes it better value if you’re only in Airlie Beach for a short stay. Being able to move around the boat underway also makes the trip feel less cramped than some fast-boat tours.

What to expect

The day starts with a fast boat trip out through the Whitsundays. Onboard, there’s indoor, semi-outdoor and rooftop seating, plus toilets and a licensed bar. You’ll stop at South Whitehaven Beach for roughly 2.5 hours, where lunch is served on the beach. After eating, you can swim, sunbathe, relax on the sand or do the optional hike to Whitehaven Lookout. The tour also visits Hill Inlet Lookout and Hill Inlet Beach for another roughly 2.5 hours, giving you both the elevated view over the shifting sandbars and time down at beach level. Tea, coffee and afternoon cheese and biscuits are provided during the day.
