What is the best Whitehaven Beach Tour?

Choosing the best Whitehaven Beach Tour comes down to what you want for a day in the Whitsunday Islands, here are my 3 recommendations

• ZigZag Whitsundays – for visiting the south end of Whitehaven Beach and the south Lookout, they also include Chalkies Beach, Haslwood Island Lookout and 1 Snorkel Location. Pros – Fast boat, more locations, inclusive ticket pricing, small group tour of 30 people, very comfortable boat seats, very low seasickness probability. Cons – does not visit hill inlet lookout
• Thundercat Whitsundays – for visiting the north end of Whitehaven Beach, hill inlet lookout, they also include 2 snorkel locations. Pros – fast boat, 2 snorkel locations, hill inlet lookout. Cons – does not visit the south end of the beach, no dietary requirements provided, plastic seating.
• Cruise Whitsundays Half Day Tour – perfect for guests low on time and just want to visit Whitehaven Beach without snorkelling. Pros – Half day tour, south end and lookout, an air-conditioned ferry ride. Cons – Large group numbers in the 100s, no snorkelling or lunches.

Can you walk on Whitehaven Beach?

Visitors can spend time walking the beach or the tracks at each end of the beach which leads to the lookouts.

Where is the best spot on Whitehaven Beach?

In my opinion, the best spot on Whitehaven Beach is the south end, specifically the South Lookout. This area offers stunning views of the pristine beach and is considered the true Whitehaven Beach.

On the other hand, the northern end accessed through Tongue Bay, known as Betty’s Beach and Whitehaven Bay, can get quite crowded between 10am and 4pm. While still beautiful, and you will see Hill Inlet (at the right tide) there is no beating standing on the named beach.

Is Whitehaven Beach accessible by wheelchair?

Unfortunately no, there is no wheelchair access on the beach

What is the sand at Whitehaven Beach made of?

Whitehaven Beach’s sand is cool to touch on hot days and perfectly compliments the turquoise waters of the Whitsundays. Made up of 98.9% pure silica, it has a unique white colour and powdery texture. The sand is so fine that it can easily get into and harm electronic gadgets.

Is it safe to swim at Whitehaven Beach?

You can swim at Whitehaven Beach all year round due to the warm tropical waters. There are no large waves or rips and the shoreline is shallow with a light decline.  However, during the months of November To April, it is advised to use a stinger suit due to jellyfish.

Are there any dangerous animals at Whitehaven Beach?

Dangerous marine stingers can be found in the waters all year round but mostly from November to April, like any ocean there are sharks, and saltwater crocodiles can be in the sea at all times of the year, but is very rare to see them around the islands

Are there any public restrooms at Whitehaven Beach?

Public restrooms are available at the South end of Whitehaven Beach only. These are hybrid compostable toilets.

The south end of Whitehaven Beach has picnic tables with sunshade roofs, there is also shade under the trees that line the beach. Some tours also provide shade tents.

Read Whitehaven Beach Tours Reviews

Myself, my husband and our 1 year old twins opted to do the Whitehaven Beach half day tour. The day was perfect, the weather was perfect, the staff were very attentive and helpful and Whitehaven Beach did not disappoint! I have travelled to many beaches around the world and this is by far my favourite and the most beautiful I have seen so far! The whole boat trip was comfortable. When we got to the beach the staff gave us a pop up tent to ensure the kiddies were kept out of the sun as it's super hot and they would have been sunburnt had we not had that. They even have buckets and spades for the kids to play with which kept our pair occupied. When we were getting back onto the boat the staff gave us priority to get on as we had kids and you even get afternoon tea on the boat on the way back. Amazing experience all round!

Catherine Smith

I have done the Whitehaven beach tour twice. The first time was a half day and 2nd time was a half day sand Hamilton Island. The crew were lovely and they did their best to make sure we had a great time. Hamilton Island was amazing and our lunch that was included in the cruise was the most delicious food I've had in a very long time. I recommend this to any one who wants a budget friendly cruise.

Sharon Henderson

We took a half day tour to Whitehaven Beach with our two kids from Hamilton Island. The crew were fantastic from the moment we departed the dock at Hamilton. On the beach the crew were great taking time to engage with the kids, playing ball games with the kids and talking to them about their sandcastle building. The fish feeding was a highlight my daughter loves animals this was a definite highlight for her. On trip back was a little bumpy and again the staff were first class. Well done to Cruise Whitsundays I highlight of our trip!!

2 How the sand became so fine at Whitehaven Beach

The sand at Whitehaven Beach in Queensland is incredibly fine and pure due to its composition, the geological history of the area, and natural processes. 

High Silica Content The sand at Whitehaven Beach is almost entirely composed of pure whit

The sand at Whitehaven Beach in Queensland is incredibly fine and pure due to its composition, the geological history of the area, and natural processes. 

High Silica Content The sand at Whitehaven Beach is almost entirely composed of pure white silica. Silica is a mineral that is found in abundance in the Earth's crust. The sand is so pure that it is often compared to talcum powder. This high silica content gives the sand its brilliant white color and fine texture.

Absence of Local Rocks The Whitsunday Islands, including Whitsunday Island where Whitehaven Beach is located, do not have a local source of rocks that contain silica. As a result, the sand on the beach is not contaminated with other minerals or impurities commonly found in rocks, which helps maintain its purity.

Natural Erosion and Weathering Over millions of years, natural weathering and erosion processes have broken down rocks and minerals in the region. The fine particles resulting from this weathering process are carried by rivers and streams into the ocean. The prevailing ocean currents then disperse these fine particles along the coastline, contributing to the creation of the fine sand at Whitehaven Beach.

Constant Wave Action The action of waves along the coastline helps to further break down and refine the sand particles, making them even finer. The constant wave action acts like a natural sandpaper, smoothing and polishing the grains of sand.

Protective National Park Status Whitehaven Beach is part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park, which means it is protected from commercial development and human interference. This status helps preserve the pristine condition of the beach and prevents any contamination of the sand.

Lack of Coral Reef Rubble Unlike some other beaches in tropical regions, Whitehaven Beach does not have a significant amount of coral reef rubble mixed with the sand. Coral rubble can create a coarser texture, but Whitehaven's sand is relatively free from this.

The combination of these factors results in the creation and preservation of the exceptionally fine and pure silica sand at Whitehaven Beach, making it one of the most iconic and beautiful beaches in the world.

Whitehaven Beach offers a truly unforgettable experience with its pristine sands, breathtaking views, and tranquil ambiance. The beach is located on Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. Tours depart daily from Airlie Beach to visit Whitehaven.

Silica Sands of Whitehaven The beach is renowned for its bright white sands, which are composed of 98% pure silica. The unique composition of the sand contributes to its incredibly soft and fine texture, making it a pleasure to walk on barefoot.

Walks accesible from Whitehaven Beach There are two walking tracks to explore from Whitehaven Beach. The first is located on the southern end, leading through Australian native bush and local rainforest. This 1 km walk offers panoramic views of the sparkling waters in the inlets of Chance Bay and the 7 km stretch of pure white silica sand along Whitehaven Beach towards the northern Hill Inlet.

At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach, you'll find Hill Inlet, a stunning inlet where the tides create a mesmerizing blend of colors as the sand and water shift. Many consider Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach to be among the most beautiful places they've ever seen. The best viewpoint to admire the swirling sands of Hill Inlet is from the lookout at Tongue Point. If you're up for a short bushwalk, consider booking a Whitehaven tour with an operator that includes a visit to the lookout.

Whitehaven Beach Tour

Ride, beach, snorkel and bushwalk…all in one day!  Ocean Rafting’s Southern Lights tour offers the perfect Whitehaven Beach tour, visiting both ends of the world famous beach and enjoying approximately two hours relaxing at the southern end of the 7km stretch of Whitehaven Beach.

At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach, enjoy a guided bushwalk to spectacular Hill Inlet Lookout to view and capture photographs of the stunning swirling silica sands and aqua water.  Ocean Rafting is the only tour to have direct access to all areas of the stunning and iconic Hill Inlet beach to ensure you enjoy the most memorable experience of this special place.

Snorkel for over an hour at Border Island, Dumbell Island, or one of our “secret” snorkel spots and enjoy the amazing hard and soft corals of the fringing reefs, as well as a huge range of marine life including colourful fish, turtles, clams and so much more, all of which call the inner coral reefs home.

Ocean Rafting has the fastest day boats in the Whitsundays, meaning it is not only an adventurous ride, but distances are covered in a shorter time, leaving more time for activities.  The semi rigid inflatable vessels are super fast allowing guests to experience a fun ride, adventure and education amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays.    You can see why we call it three days in one!

The main difference between the two tours is that the Southern Lights has more beach time and the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time.

Please note: If you are travelling to the Whitsundays on a cruise ship, the timings of this experience do not align with the visiting cruise ship schedule.

Supplier Tours and Services Changes

In the unlikely case of a vessel break down, maintenance or unavailability, the supplier will supply an alternate vessel of a similar standard and quality. Itineraries may be affected by elements beyond our and the supplier’s control such as wind, tide, rain, storm or other weather conditions which make travel dangerous and require a delay or cancellation. It is the skipper's requirement to ensure passenger safety at all times and may use his/her professional judgment in any manner to keep his/her guests and crew safe. In the instance of such delay or cancellation, alternative options will be provided by the supplier. In the event a cancellation or delay occurs and your tour or service is cancelled and rescheduled, you will receive a full refund if you are unable to rebook your tour or service.

We are not liable for the event that you are refused access to any services or tours due to your medical, physical or other reasons, including intoxication. Any such claims should be addressed to the suppliers directly. You should note that sailing can be a dangerous activity and while crews will make every effort to ensure your safety, they cannot be accountable for actions or injury to you that may be ‘beyond their control’. Every effort is make to ensure your safety and you may be required to complete a pre departure questionnaire, and sign a travel agreement waiver during the check-in process of your tour with the supplier directly. We are not affiliated with nor responsible for our suppliers in any way other than as intermediary to arrange their services on you and their behalf. If you have any issues, injury, suffer any loss or damage, you need to take it up with the supplier directly.
