Which Whitsundays Tour is right for you ?

The only Whitsundays Tour for you 

So, you’re coming to the Whitsunday Islands for a holiday! You know you want to visit the islands but which Whitsundays Islands Tour is right for you? 

The 3 questions you should ask your self is

·         .How long do you wish the tour to be?

·         .Sailing or Motor boat?

·         .Your budget limits?

Firstly, to get the best from a trip to the Whitsundays you need to visit Whitehaven Beach and snorkel at least one location. There are half day trips to Whitehaven Beach and if you’re on a tight time frame these are an option, these e are available by ferry which can take up to 300 people at a time. Not really the way you should be seeing this stunning playground.

So, let’s look at a few options which should help you have the most amazing holiday

1.       1. Day Tours – This type of tour is a extremely popular way for travellers to see the Whitsundays, you will get to visit Whitehaven beach, some tours visit the northern end at Hill Inlet lookout and some visit the southern end where you get to spend 2 hours on the actual beach. Every one of these tours will also give you at least one snorkel location on the fringing great barrier reef that surrounds the islands. Only one sailing tour Camira is fast enough to reach both the beach and snorkel, the rest of these tours are motor boats, some fast and wild like ZigZag and some slower but more comfortable like Whitehaven Express.there are also a few sailing tours that do not visit Whitehaven beach but snorkel at a few locations such as Derwent Hunter

2.       2. Overnight Whitsundays Tour –  These tours are also very popular but more with the 18 – 35-year-old market. Just about all these excursions are on sail boats, some of which are ex racing vessels taking guests from 10 to 36 depending on the boat size. The ex-racing boats do not have much creature comforts (just a bunk) but they make up for it in adventure, these yachts lean over and sail hard and are a great way to visit the Whitsundays. There are a few mid to high end catamarans that take 8 people only and have private double rooms with private amenities, these best suit couples and people looking for the quite serenity of the islands

3.       3. Tour Budget – Full day tours start as low as $85 if you book early and range up to $220 for a day on the outer reef. Overnight budget tours start with 2 days 1 night tours from $195, to 3 days 3 nights for $699. The higher end of the budget can set you back up to $1200 for your own private room with low guest numbers
