Whitsundays Snorkeling and Whiteheaven Beach Tours - Southern Lights Tour
Whiteheaven Beach Tour
Ride, beach, snorkel and bushwalk…all in one day! The 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. This 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 the "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.
The tour 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!

With Southern Lights tour, snorkel for over an hour at one of the “secret” snorkel spots and enjoy the amazing hard and soft corals of the fringing reefs, as well as a huge range of marine life
Whitehaven Beach stretches for some three nautical miles up the eastern side of the Whitsundays’ largest island. It is composed of pure white silica sand and the aboriginal name for it translates as “whispering sands”.
Whitehaven Beach has been voted the ‘Best Beach in the South Pacific’ and ‘Best Beach in Australia’ in the recent TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Awards and has won many other accolades over the years
The most spectacular beach in the Whitsundays is the world-renowned Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island.
The special permits which allow access to all areas of Hill Inlet, including the beach, provides the best experience of Hill Inlet within the tidal sandbars of swirling silica sands
Both Northern and Southern daily Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach tours visit this amazing Whitsunday destination.
Experience the signature adrenalin fuelled action while exploring the islands, inlets and beaches on custom built semi-rigid inflatable vessels, travelling at speeds of up to 35 knots (65 km/hour).
The swirling sands of Hill Inlet at the Northern End of Whitehaven Beach is a picture postcard destination and the lookout at Hill Inlet boasts unparalleled views of the area.
The Northern Exposure eco adventure is a favourite amongst avid snorkellers because it is the only Whitsunday adventure which includes two different snorkel destinations.
Enjoy snorkelling around Hook Island including Mantaray Bay, Maureens Cove and other specially selected Whitsundays snorkelling spots on Northern Exposure route , ensuring a memorable underwater experience.
The main difference between the two tours is that the Northern Exposure has more snorkelling time and the Southern Lights offers more beach time.
