Travel in air-conditioned comfort aboard a spacious catamaran with capped passenger numbers, modern facilities, and a rooftop deck - perfect for soaking up the views while the kids explore safely.

    Departing from Shute Harbour at 9:00am, the journey takes you through the Molle group of islands and across the Whitsunday Passage into Cid Harbour, where you'll hear stories of its role in the Battle of the Coral Sea - an engaging way for kids to learn some Aussie history along the way.

    Next, cruise past Nara Inlet and through Hook Passage before arriving at Tongue Point. Here, a family-friendly bushwalk takes you to the Hill Inlet Lookout, where you’ll enjoy sweeping views that look like something straight out of a postcard.

    Then it's off to Whitehaven Beach - a highlight for all ages! Splash in the crystal-clear shallows, build sandcastles on the soft silica sand, or take a leisurely stroll with up to 2 hours to enjoy this iconic spot at your family’s pace.

    As the adventure wraps up, relax on the return journey while cruising around Whitsunday Island, arriving back at Shute Harbour around 5:00pm.

    This family-friendly tour runs daily (except Christmas Day) and includes complimentary bus transfers from several locations. Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea are provided, and there’s an onboard bar for extra drinks or snacks.
