Last week, our Visitor Services Manager, Dea, joined Explore Group Australia's Sales Manager, Chris, for an unforgettable sail and snorkel trip to Whitehaven Beach and Chalkies Beach.

Aboard a purpose-built catamaran with a small group, we set sail from Hamilton Island to the serene shores of Chalkies Beach.
After a thorough safety briefing, we plunged into the water for snorkelling, relishing the thrill of following a green turtle and swimming among vibrant marine life.
Dedicated staff members ensured our safety and enjoyment throughout the experience. After a refreshing lunch on board, we made our way to Whitehaven Beach.
There’s no better way to connect with nature than by feeling the silky sand beneath our toes and gazing at the calm, crystal-clear waters. Our adventure continued with a guided hike to the breathtaking Whitehaven Lookout.
This 2 km return trip is worth the effort, even on a steamy summer day. The panoramic view of the peaks of Whitsunday Island and the stunning shoreline of Whitehaven Beach is awe-inspiring every time, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth.
For our return journey to Hamilton Island, the crew hoisted the sails, ensuring each passenger left with a big smile and a sense of wonder from the experience. A massive thank you to each crew member on board; their customer service and professionalism were remarkable.
