Amazing trip in every respect. The crew were brilliant, attentive, fun, knowledgeable- captain Dan (also cooked an amazing BBQ), Jess, Mattie and Tallon (sorry if I got that wrong?!). They told us all about the islands, what to expect and what we could see and went above and beyond to ensure we all had a brilliant time. Boat is great, not crowded and plenty of space to walk around even when at full capacity. Highly recommended look no further - even pick up and lift back with Jill were excellent too!

We had the best weather for our day out to Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach.
This is a small family run business and it is well run. We were picked up and dropped off at our resort which made things easy.
Captain Dan, Jill and Harry all took such good care of us on the day. Harry pointed out things of interest along the way, he also served morning and afternoon tea on the boat. BBQ lunch was cooked on the beach by Dan the only way to do lunch at Whitehaven! there was plenty to eat including a variety of meats salad, bread and fruit. You also have the opportunity to purchase drinks. You do have to dodge the Seagulls and the crows they swoop your plate if you are not careful.
The boat is well equiped and it was a pleasant ride out to Hill Inlet, you need to board a small raft to get to both Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach this added to the fun on the day. Hill Inlet look out is a steep walk but so worth the walk the views are stunning.
Whitehaven Beach is beautiful and a real contrast of colours.
I would highly recommend this tour, the original Whitehaven Beach bbq trip.

This would have to be one of the best ways to spend a day ever! We had perfect weather and could not believe how much more impressive Whitehaven Beach is in person than it appears in photos and videos. Dan, Jess, and Sam were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Dan knows how to cook a steak! the lunch was plentiful and delicious, the guided walks very worthwhile, but if you can only do one do the HIll inlet one, it is easier and the view is breathtaking. Not a thing to fault. We got an unforgettable day and it was worth every cent. Well worththe money.

What a trip it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The service was gold class from start to finish even with being short staffed it was amazing. Deckhand Harry and Captain Dan showed us the sights with very insightful knowledge of the area. Fantastic BBQ too. Enough time to explore without feeling rushed. Definitely a tour to give a go. Near the end the crew were very attentive even having to look after a small emergency on board. Would highly recommend.

It might be called Xpress but there was plenty of time to see, do, eat, drink and relax. The crew, Liz, Max, Harry & Captain Dan were wonderful. Down to earth, knowledgeable & very conscientious to the comfort & needs of each person. This is a real experience, not stuffy, sugar coated tourist drab, but honest & easy. We would do this again in a flash! It is a “wet deck” so expect to get a bit wet. Thongs (flip flops), shorts and a tshirt. Don’t forget your towel, cozzies & sunscreen. The BBQ lunch was delicious & all drinks are nice and cold. ???

Definitely recommend this tour, friendly crew , nothing too much trouble from collecting us in the morning, delivering morning/afternoon tea , Whitehaven beach BBQ, & dropping us off at the hotel at the end of the day. They told us lots of informative fact’s & observations as we travelled along , passing around the Whitsunday islands. Spectacular views from Hill Inlet (after a short hike) & Whitehaven beach. Crew couldn’t do enough to make sure everyone was looked after. Would definitely do this again:)

Today was just amazing. This tour is an absolute must do with Whitehaven Express as everything is worked out brilliantly. Harry and Jess were fabulous, so knowledgeable about everything. We saw whales, goannas, and they even brought the sun wherever we went! We had the best time just jam packed with things to do.

Would highly recommend this trip. In spite of the fresh SE’ly wind, Dan, Jess and Harry ensured everyone was well looked after and had a great day with an excellent bbq. So much better with a small family run operation who really care
