Join us for an adventure to Whitehaven Beach! Enjoy time on the world famous beach, beach activities, buffet lunch on the beach and chance to upgrade to a snorkeling tour if you wish.
Get ready for an unforgettable day at the world-famous Whitehaven Beach! Hop aboard our purpose-built 50-seat fast-cat, designed for comfort and stability as we whisk you away to paradise. Feel the thrill of the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin as we cruise through the breathtaking Whitsunday Islands, known for their crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life.
Once we arrive, you’ll have over 4 hours to soak up the sun, swim in the warm waters, or explore at your own pace. Have a go at stand-up paddleboarding, or take a self-guided bushwalk to the Southern Lookout for panoramic views of the islands. Keep your eyes peeled for friendly marine life, including colourful fish, turtles, and maybe even a stingray!
Our beach buffet lunch is included free with goods sourced from local businesses, served with restaurant cutlery and crockery. The menu caters to the majority of dietary requirements, with plenty of options for all tastes. Drinks available onboard and complimentary afternoon tea on the return trip
Snorkeling Tour - $29 Optional Upgrade: Don’t miss out on our optional snorkeling tour for just $29! Discover the stunning coral reefs teeming with life.Depending on the tides, we jump aboard the boat and head off from the group in the morning or afternoon for a dedicated snokel tour to the surrounding reefs. This way you will still have 2 hours on Whitehaven Beach and lunch with the group!
Hill Inlet Tour - $29 Optional Upgrade: Hop back on board the boat from the beach and we take you away for a guided bush walk to the famous Hill Inlet!
Great day out. Highly recommend. The crew were amazing and explained everything that would be happening through out the day. Definately would go again
It was a relaxing day. The crew was fantastic. They made sure everyone had a great experience.
We booked this tour specifically to spend four hours at the beach. At the time of booking, we were informed that both snorkelling and the lookout experience were optional activities and had to be paid separately at $29 each. On the boat, passengers were clearly identified with different coloured wristbands, indicating what each person had paid for: • Beach only • Beach + snorkelling • Beach + lookout • Full package (beach, snorkelling, and lookout) To our surprise, after only two hours at the beach, all passengers were forced back onto the boat and taken to the lookout, an activity we did not pay for. We were then invited to get off and visit the lookout without paying, while other passengers had paid extra for exactly the same experience. This was extremely unfair and misleading for those who paid more, as well as for us, who did not receive the four hours at the beach that we had paid for. Additionally, the guides did not use a microphone on the boat, making it very difficult to hear or understand the instructions. Overall, the organisation was chaotic and unprofessional. This experience was very poorly managed, did not match what was advertised, and felt deceptive. I strongly discourage anyone from booking this tour with GSL Marine.
It was difficulty to reach out people and get support. I called out several times and sent emails, but the responses were always delayed while there was no clarity due to weather problems.
