Highlights
Experience one of the most affordable and scenic ways to visit Whitehaven Beach with our full-day return ferry transfer aboard a beautifully restored vintage timber vessel. Unlike fast, impersonal rides, our journey is part of the experience — cruise through the Whitsunday Islands in relaxed comfort, with shaded seating, onboard amenities, and a friendly local crew. We drop you at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach at the intertidal zone, where you’re free to swim, walk, sunbathe, or relax at your own pace with no schedules or guided tours. Our ferry remains anchored nearby so you can return at any time throughout the day to enjoy the shade, restrooms, and refreshments onboard. With flexible return pickup, optional snorkel or stinger suit hire, and the freedom to explore as you wish, this is the perfect balance of value, comfort, and freedom — ideal for families, couples, or solo travellers wanting a more personal and authentic Whitsunday experience.
