Whitsundays Full Day Tours

Sitting amidst the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands boast incredible expanses of lush rainforests, world-class beaches, and azure waters sheltering the vibrant reef life! This group of 74 paradisiacal islands is a ‘must-see’ on everyone’s Australia bucket list, and only a full-day tour does justice to it.

A Whitsundays full-day tour lets you explore the island’s most popular beaches, discover hidden gems, snorkel at vibrant reef sites, and hike through popular trails in one action-packed experience. Choosing the right Whitsundays day tour can be a lucky dip, but not anymore! We have curated a shortlist of the best day trips that will help you experience the bounties of the islands at your own pace.

While the full-day tours are all about exploring multiple sites in one day, you can choose a cruise that fits your needs based on budget, type of menu, sites visited, activities included etc. Most tours cover everything you need for the day including transportation, food and drinks, and equipment for activities like snorkelling.

As the islands are part of the incredible Great Barrier Reef, the tours usually include snorkelling to explore the colourful coral gardens and marine life. Encounter the gentle turtles, playful dolphins, the inquisitive rays, kaleidoscope of tropical fish, and much more! Accompanying guides will share fascinating insights into marine life and the region’s history and culture, enhancing your appreciation of the Whitsundays.

If you’re looking to slow it down, you can find a tour that incorporates more beach time, taking you to Whitehaven Beach, Hamilton Island, or both! You can also spend time exploring picturesque walking trails, hiking to a spectacular vantage point, or just simply laying down and soaking up the sun.

In short, our day trips to Whitsunday are perfect for those with limited time to make the most of the region and its attractions in a single day. So, book your seats with us for a thrilling day out at Queenlsand’s favourite holiday destination, and make memories to cherish forever!
