Whitehaven Beach + Great Barrier Reef Tour & Sunset Sail Combo

This Whitsundays package combines two of the region's most memorable experiences in a single booking: a full-day adventure to Whitehaven Beach and the Outer Great Barrier Reef aboard ‘Viper’, followed by an elegant sunset sail on the heritage yacht Lady Enid on a separate day. Together, they showcase two completely different sides of the Whitsundays – one fast-paced and adventure-filled, the other relaxed and intimate. For an even broader perspective, you can add an optional scenic flight to complete the experience with breathtaking aerial views of the islands and reef. 

Experience 1: Whitehaven Beach & Outer Great Barrier Reef
As the ‘Viper’ departs from Coral Sea Marina, you'll soon understand why this tour covers more ground than most. The high-speed ride gets you out into the Whitsundays quickly, with spectacular island scenery unfolding around you as you weave through the passageways towards Whitehaven Beach.

Your first stop is the iconic Hill Inlet lookout, where a short guided walk rewards you with the famous swirling patterns of white silica sand and brilliant blue water. After taking in the view, you'll have time to enjoy Whitehaven Beach at your own pace. You can cool off with a swim, stroll along the shoreline or simply relax on one of Australia's most celebrated beaches.

From there, it's time to venture beyond the islands to Bait Reef on the Outer Great Barrier Reef, a destination many day tours don't reach. Join a guided snorkel safari led by a marine biologist and discover colourful coral gardens, tropical fish and the incredible marine life that thrives on the outer reef. With no more than 36 guests on board, the experience feels refreshingly personal while still packing a lot into a single day.

Experience Two: Whitsundays Sunset Sail 
Set aside another afternoon to discover a quieter, more elegant side of the Whitsundays aboard ‘Lady Enid’. This beautifully restored timber yacht offers a classic sailing experience that's less about ticking off attractions and more about relaxing on the water.

From the moment you're welcomed aboard with an Aperol Spritz, the pace slows. Find a comfortable spot on deck, as the vessel catches the breeze and glides effortlessly through the islands. Along the way, you'll enjoy an antipasto selection of prawns, cheese and crackers while the crew share stories about the Whitsundays, its sailing heritage and the surrounding coastline.

As the sun begins to set, the scenery takes on an entirely different character. The islands are bathed in golden light and the sky gradually transforms into brilliant shades of orange, pink and crimson. This is an experience that invites you to put the camera down for a moment and simply take it all in. 

Who Is This Package Best Suited For
This package is perfect for couples, honeymooners and first-time visitors who want to experience the Whitsundays from more than one perspective. Rather than choosing between Whitehaven Beach, the Outer Great Barrier Reef or a sunset sail, you'll enjoy the best highlights across two memorable days.

Book this package to enjoy a seamless Whitsundays itinerary, with two exceptional experiences already taken care of and the flexibility to add an unforgettable scenic flight if you choose.
