Best day ever, great boat, great staff, great location!
What an incredible day, from check in to goodbye we had the best experience. The staff were so welcoming and our boat staff were the best. Josh, Georgie and Dalton provided the best day for us, fun, energy, chats and information. We felt safe at all times and could just relax and enjoy the day with everything catered for. Lunch was delicious and the boat was super fun. Thanks you!

This tour aims to provide some quality snorkelling experiences while also giving guests the chance to experience the incredible Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island! Departing from Airlie Beach at 8.45 am, you'll be taken to a pristine inner fringing coral reef where you'll receive some personalised snorkelling instruction before being able to hit the water and witness a wonderful array of stunning soft and hard corals as well as a range of incredibly colourful fish. All snorkelling and safety equipment is provided, so even beginners will be able to make the most of their time in the water - you'll visit two separate stunning snorkel sites in total around lovely Hook Island.
Follow it up with a landing on Whitehaven Beach itself - widely considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - where you'll get to witness its famously white sand firsthand. Join your guides for a walk to the lookout at the top of Hill Inlet for an unmatched panorama of the beach and its surrounds - be sure to bring your camera as it's a scene you'll want to treasure forever!

Great day out
We got lucky with a glorious day and a rippa crew on Thundastruck. I can’t compliment this mob enough for the effort they put into us having a great time/day. Highly recommended.
