Frequently Asked Questions

Where do day tours depart from?

Our Whitsunday day tours depart from Coral Sea Marina at Airlie Beach – one of the biggest departure points in the Whitsunday region. Located by the endless blue Coral Sea and the tropical Conway National Park, Airlie Beach is a stunning starting point to explore the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands. 

Is a day tour enough to see the Whitsundays?

A day tour is perfect if you want to spend the day out on the water and experience a specific area or adventure. We’re locals, so we obviously think that you should spend more time in the region than a single day! But Whitsunday day trips are perfect to get out on the water from Airlie Beach and experience the reef with a guided tour.

What do I need to bring on a Whitsundays day tour?

We provide lunch, snacks, water activity equipment, and courtesy shuttles on our day tours. In saying this, there are a few personal essentials you will need to make your day out on the boat even more comfortable. This includes:

  • Sunscreen (30+ to 50+ SPF)
  • Hats and sunglasses
  • Loose and protective clothing
  • Swimwear
  • Towels
  • Water bottle
  • Waterproof camera
  • BYO drinks

Can Whitsundays day tours be booked at any time of the year?

Yes, our Whitsunday day tours can be booked at any time of the year – in fact, winter is actually a better time to book. Compared to summer, winter is a quieter time of the year which makes it more affordable to travel to the Whitsunday Islands region as demand is lower. And if you’re concerned about it being too cold in Winter, don’t be! The Whitsunday Islands are located off the coast of tropical north Queensland where winter is the ‘dry season’ and summer is the ‘wet season’. In this region, the weather is warm all year round. It’s also the perfect time to spot and swim with whales!
