This was amazing! I highly recommend this trip with Cruise Whitsundays. We did the full day. The staff are awesome! Even before we left, I emailed them and they responded quickly. Everyone was kind and helpful. We departed Hamilton Island and went to Whitehaven. This beach is so beautiful! We then took a boat ride out to the end of the beach to hike to The Hill Inlet. The hike was about 40 minutes. It was not strenuous. A nice nature hike before you get to the amazing view of The Hill Inlet. After we got back, had a great lunch of burgers and salads. Then just relaxed on Whitehaven. Bucket list day!!

Great day out despite the torrential rain. Guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. BBQ on the beach was excellent. Watch out for the seagulls; they are very fast and accurate at picking food off your plate or out of your hands!
We purchased the drinks package at $55 per person which advertised all day beer, wine, cider and soft drink. However wine was not allowed on the island. My wife does not drink beer and only received a very expensive small plastic glass of bubbles at 3:45pm. I have relayed my concerns about this but have yet to hear from Cruise Whitsundays.

Fantastic day from start to finish
Sea a bit rough but crew all geared up for that
Morning in the bay was just brilliant, lemon sharks, baby rays, soldier crabs and a great walk up through the estuary.
Tour guide (Paige) was super enthusiastic, a real live wire, had us all moving in the right places at the right time.
BBQ was really well organised and plenty of food for all. (Mind the seagulls!)
Bonus Iguanas on the beach fringes
Bought the drink package, probably worth it but not necessarily the alcohol option.
All the crew of the various vessels were great and ensured you felt safe on all the various transfers

Walking to lookouts at Hill inlet was beautiful and well worth it. Then having plenty of time to chill at Whitehaven beach made it a perfect day.

On 3 February, 2024, we took a trip on the Whitehaven Beach Chill & Grill tour. There was a nail sticking about 1 cm out of my chair, and it got my leg multiple times before I figured out what it was. I spoke to one of the uniformed crew members, and they apologised and offered me a free drink (which I actually didn't want, but ultimately, I got a soft drink for one of my companions who wanted it).
They took down my name and contact info and told me that someone would be in touch with me over this, and that there would be an incident report.
No one contacted me. I even reviewed this trip on their own site and brought up the incident again, and still no one contacted me.
I have to say, this is the second tour I have taken with Cruise Whitsundays, and the first time around, I had a nice time. I would have walked away with a favourable impression of their operations if I didn't do this tour. No matter what any experience is like, when you have a nail sticking out of your chair and no one bothers to follow up about it, I can't possibly recommend this company to other people.
Did anyone read the review that I posted from their own site? Was an incident report ever even filed? I know that somebody from Cruise Whitsundays responds to these Tripadvisor reviews, and it's nice that they actually read these ones. Maybe that person will post a public apology when they see this review. But that's not what I'm looking for. I'm still waiting to hear from the person at Cruise Whitsundays whose job it is to ensure that nails don't stick out of their chairs. I want to hear their plan to ensure that this never happens again. What would have happened if I contracted tetanus from that nail? But hey, thanks for the free Bundaberg.

I would never recommend Viator to anyone ever!!
We unfortunately had an issue with getting to the terminal on time due to a miscommunication with a staff member. We booked to leave from Airlie, but instead booked us from Hamilton. We had to get this changed and they didn’t mention to us of a time change on the phone. We arrived 15mins late and lost our $1300 booking. When trying to explain this to staff on the phone and asking if we were allowed a refund on any kind we received the dreaded email of no refund is available at this time. No reason, No compassion just a company taking peoples money without remorse. Our family was heart broken.
This is happened in January 2024.

I took this trip with my husband to see this beach, it was the dream of my life. But they took us to another beach I was only notified at check in. Incorrect. The excursion was also expensive.
