10Hr 'Lady Enid' Whitehaven Beach Sail + Snorkel Cruise

The ‘Lady Enid’ Whitehaven Beach Sail & Snorkel tour is a 9.5-hour adults-only sailing experience through the Whitsunday Islands aboard a beautifully restored 1962 timber yacht. With a maximum of just 24 guests, it offers a more intimate and relaxed alternative to larger tour boats, combining Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, reef snorkelling and gourmet dining in one unforgettable day. You will depart Airlie Beach at 8:00am and spend the day discovering some of the most iconic natural landscapes in Queensland.

Hill Inlet & Whitehaven Beach 
Your experience begins with a leisurely sail through the Whitsunday Islands, treating you to the natural beauty of this world-famous archipelago. Your first major stop is Tongue Bay, where you disembark for a guided walk to the renowned Hill Inlet Lookout. From this elevated vantage point, you can take in the breathtaking fusion of white silica sands and turquoise tidal waters that has made Hill Inlet one of Australia's most photographed natural attractions.

From Hill Inlet, the experience continues to the pristine shores of Whitehaven Beach. Stretching for seven kilometres, this world-famous beach is celebrated for its startlingly white silica sand and crystal-clear waters. Here, you have ample time to swim, stroll along the shoreline, explore the quieter stretches leading towards Betty's Beach, or simply relax and absorb the tranquillity of one of the world's most beautiful beaches.

Great Barrier Reef Snorkelling
The experience also includes a snorkelling stop at a sheltered reef location where you can snorkel and explore the colourful coral gardens and thriving marine life in the Great Barrier Reef. All snorkel equipment is provided, making it easy for both first-time and experienced snorkellers to enjoy the underwater environment. 

Gourmet Dining
Throughout the day, guests are treated to a carefully curated dining experience. Morning tea includes freshly baked scones served with tea and coffee, followed by a generous buffet lunch featuring fresh local prawns, seasonal salads and other gourmet selections. During the return sail, an antipasto platter is served alongside Australian sparkling wine, providing the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon on the water. 

Who Is This Cruise Best Suited For
This ‘Lady Enid’ Sail & Snorkel cruise to Whitehaven Beach is particularly well suited to couples, honeymooners, solo travellers and mature travellers who value personalised service, smaller group sizes and a slower pace of exploration. Rather than focusing on high-energy activities or busy itineraries, the cruise emphasises comfort, authenticity and meaningful connections with the natural environment.
