From Port of Airlie, journey across the Whitsunday Passage and into this amazing tropical paradise – a scenic sequence of remote waterways and hidden bays. On the southern shores of Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 Whitsunday isles, famous Whitehaven Beach is a regular on lists of ‘World’s Best Beaches’. Wander along the sand, hike the short Solway Circuit for some show-stopping views, or cool off in the gently lapping water before your return cruise.

Sadly the trip was very bad for us as we had a difficult crossing, and rain on the beach. It was not worth the price for us, and we wish we had been offered a refund or another crossing

We went on a very cloudy day and the sea very very rough over to the island, so I feel we didn’t get the full colourful experience but the beach is amazing and you can loose yourself. Fab

Here's the translation to English:

"I made a reservation through Viator Australia to go to the Whitsundays. I specifically asked about snorkeling in the sea to see the coral reef and they confirmed it. We traveled 12 hours and 1200 km from the Sunshine Coast to Airlie Beach, and when we arrived, they confirmed again that snorkeling was included at the reception. In the end, with my 70-year-old mother who came from Spain, we had to give up doing what we really wanted and pay $600 to not do what we were truly willing to do on this trip."

Absolute lies! Not a tour. It’s an over priced taxi service that over sells more tickets than seats and ignores passengers standing for two hours. I am trying to lodge a complaint but no one interested. Don’t waste your money here! They don’t care.

Not very impressed. Seems they over sold tickets and several people were left standing for about an hour without a single crew member offering assistance . The PA system up stairs does not work (or could not be heard). We had no idea there was afternoon tea being served so missed out. We had to change boats and very little coordination, instruction or interaction with staff. Basically an over priced ferry system to the beach. Would not use again. Whitehaven Beach was the only worthwhile part of this adventure. It was amazing!

This is not a tour. This is a very long taxi service.
Was advertised as a half day your to Whitehaven.
Took 2hrs to get there, with a taxi stop at Daydream and to Hamilton Island. Had to get off and change boats. So wasted another 1/2hr. Finally arrive at Whitehaven and we got 1 & 1/2hrs before we had to get back on the boat. Once on the boat had to wait 30mins while Cruise Whitsunday packed up all the stuff they had on the beach all day.
Afternoon tea was salami, cheese, crackers, rock melon, red apple and chocolate cake.
Then, back off on our taxi service back to Hamilton and Daydream before getting back to Airlie Beach.
If you an actual tour to Whitehaven, then this is not the tour you want to pay for.

It is a lot of money to simply get a ferry to the beach for under 2 hrs.

It doesn't take you to the lookout point (one of the main reasons its voted on of the best is because the lookout has great views) so I don't see what all of the fuss is about. We were on a boat for more time then we were at the beach, the wind was awful so the trip over was the worst i have had on a boat. People being sick as the boat was swaying side to side. I will stress this is not the companies fault, but be mindful if you don't like rough water you will be on the boat for a long time.

Yes its a beautiful beach, but unless its near the lookout you can go to many beaches like this around Australia.

I would recommend spending a little more to go with an experience of viewing the lookout. I asked if I could go but I wouldn't have been back to the boat in time.
