Whitsunday Islands Plane Ride + Snorkeling
Whitsunday Islands Plane Ride + Snorkeling
At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Arlie Beach and head over to the Whitsunday Airport. Then, we'll take off and start exploring a protected natural paradise from the sky.
With a bird's eye view, we'll fly over the Whitsunday Island archipelago and its incredible white sandy beaches, as well as the Great Barrier Reef. You won't be able to stop taking pictures!
After an hour's flight, we'll land and change means of transportation, taking a boat to visit Whitsunday Island, the largest island of this national park. Here, you'll have one to two hours of free time to swim and sunbathe in its most famous spot, Whitehaven Beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!
You can take advantage of this break to grab a bite to eat, either with food you brought with you or a picnic lunch, which you can purchase on the day of the activity.
We'll even go on a hiking route to the Hill Inlet viewpoint, a place offering privileged views of the natural beauty of the island and its turquoise waters. Then, we'll take you to one or two snorkeling spots, which depending on weather conditions may be on Whitsunday Island itself, Hook Island, Border Island or Dumbell Island.
After a seven and a half hour experience, we'll finish the activity at Coral Sea Marina.
Snorkeling
Depending on the option you choose, the activity will have some variations. If you decide to book the option that includes a single stop for snorkeling, you'll have more time to relax on Whitehaven Beach, while if you choose to make two stops, you'll learn more about the underwater life of the Whitsundays, but you'll have one hour less to relax in the bay.
