Prepare to be dazzled by the pristine natural environment of Whitehaven Beach as you take the opportunity to sink your toes in the brilliant white sand, wade in the crystal-clear water, and hike the short Solway Circuit for some show-stopping views of the glistening 7km shoreline. 

This uninhabited island is one of Australia's true gems and the journey to the beach is spectacular too. Boarding the vessel from Daydream Island, sit back and enjoy a generous morning or afternoon tea as you cruise through the channel, listening to your friendly skipper providing an informative commentary on the history and wonders of the area. Your day cruise vessel has air-conditioned interior saloons and seating areas outside in the fresh salt air.

Situated in the Whitsunday Islands National Park and in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach is a definite must-see destination in the Whitsundays. The crystal clear azure waters and pristine white silica sands stretch for over 7 kilometres along Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. The sand on Whitehaven Beach is made from 98% pure silica, which gives it its brilliant appearance and soft, powdery texture that it is famous for. It won't take you long to realise why it is the most photographed beach in Australia and named 'Queensland's Most Beautiful Beach'.
