On the other side of Tongue Point lies Whitehaven Beach. Spend a few hours here soaking up the sun, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and exploring the pristine white silica sand.

After your beach time, return to the vessel to enjoy a freshly prepared buffet lunch as the crew sails you to one of the Whitsundays’ premier snorkeling and scuba diving spots. Dive into an unforgettable underwater world filled with vibrant marine life, including Maori Wrasse, sea turtles, and colorful coral gardens.

Later in the day, the fun continues at another location, where you can enjoy the waterslides, paddleboards, and even a heated spa. The Whitsundays’ biggest water playground is all yours to explore! As the day winds down, the crew will take you to an exclusive beach for a white party. Bring your best white outfit, soak in the sunset views, and dance the night away with your newfound friends.
