A full-day tour normally includes 2 hours at the beach and lookout and a snorkel location around the islands.

No matter what your preferences are, there is a tour that will suit you.

Activities the tours include

When selecting a tour, it’s important to think about what activities it offers. Different tours can have different things to do, so it’s a good idea to look into it first.

Most tours will have snorkelling stops where you can see the amazing coral reefs and fish, plus wildlife sightings to watch the local animals. You might find picnic spots, beach activities like swimming and sunbathing, and boat rides to take in the fantastic views.

If you want something unique, some tours provide exclusive access to certain parts of the beach or special activities like kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding. Before booking, make sure to check what activities it has and pick the one you like best.

Where the tour departs from

When looking for the best Whitehaven Beach tour, it’s important to consider the various departure points. These include Airlie Beach, Shute Harbour, Daydream Island, and Hamilton Island.

Those in Airlie Beach may want to opt for a tour that departs from there as it is the nearest. Those on Hamilton Island could look for a tour starting there. If staying in Shute Harbour, either look for a tour that departs there or one offering a pick-up service. Daydream Island also has some tours that leave from there.

It is important to make sure there is enough time to get to the departure point and back. Also, check if the tour includes stops at other places en route to Whitehaven Beach, for example, Hill Inlet, with some of the best views of the area.

There are many tours, so take time to find the right one.
