What to Expect

Explore Whitehaven Beach in comfort and style on this full-day tour aboard Super Flyer, a spacious vessel designed for scenic cruising and island access. This is one of the best ways to visit the world-famous Whitehaven Beach, combining guided lookout walks, swim time, and beach transfers with the option to add a vibrant snorkelling experience.

Whitehaven Beach & South Whitehaven Beach Lookout

When visiting Whitsunday Islands, you'll step into a true coastal sanctuary, where turquoise waters meet a shoreline of powder-fine sand made up of 97% pure silica. 

Whitehaven Beach, part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park in Queensland, owes its pristine condition to its remote location, far from urban development and everyday crowds. Its isolation helps preserve the extraordinary clarity of the water and the purity of the beach.

A short 1-kilometre bushland track leads to the South Whitehaven Lookout—an elevated platform offering sweeping views across the length of Whitehaven Beach, Chance Bay, and the surrounding Whitsunday Islands. Frequently listed among the best beaches in the world, this lookout is a must-visit for those seeking iconic coastal scenery in its most natural form.

Snorkelling Tour (Included when booking Whitehaven Beach and Snorkel)

Our Airlie Beach snorkelling tour is suitable for all skill levels, from first-time snorkellers to experienced underwater explorers. If you've chosen the snorkel upgrade, you'll be picked up directly from Super Flyer by the original ZigZag fast boat—powered by four 300hp engines and fitted with padded seating and front stairs for smooth entry into the water.

It’s a quick 15-minute ride to one of the Whitsundays’ premium snorkelling sites, carefully selected each day by our crew based on the latest wind and tidal conditions. You’ll spend around 60 minutes snorkelling in the water, exploring colourful coral gardens teeming with marine life. Expect to encounter tropical fish, sea turtles, and maybe even spot a clownfish or two in their natural habitat.
