Had a great day on board with this tour company and staff.

We spent the whole day with these guys and had a great experience. Staff were great to deal with and the locations we went to were fantastic. Great price through Experience Oz and would definitely use them again.

Whitehaven Beach & Hamilton Island full day tour from Airlie Beach was a day of fun in the sun

1st timers to Airlie Beach we knew we had to do one of the Whitsunday Islands & it was so hard to choose. We went with Hamilton Island & it was beautiful. It was stunning open Resort of 5 pools, tennis courts, golf buggies to get around, bingo, something to do everywhere you turned. Lots of places to eat & drink. We started the day at Whitehaven Beach for fun in sun, wake boarding, Sandcastles & beach front photos. Would definitely go back.

Best day ever or one of them. Whitehaven and Hamilton Island for a very full day of fun and relaxation.

Best day ever. Whitehaven at last, spectacular. Free paddleboarding (get in quick) what a bonus. I had time to walk to the lookout, sunbake and swim. Onto Hamilton for a delicious lunch at the tavern. We caught the free shuttle to the resort to snorkel the lagoon. I saw the hugest turtle and rays. Relaxed beside the magnificent pool, swim up bar, cocktails before the trip home with the sun setting.
