Nothing beats a Whitsundays tour especially when it is a fast-paced open boat that gets you to the destinations quickly, allowing more time at the locations and less time on the boat. A Day excursion to the Whitsunday Islands Starts from $85 and heads up to the $220 mark these can be found at http://whitsundays-tour.com . It all depends on what type of ride you are after to make this vacation a memorable one. For me the tour has to be fast as I want more tome snorkeling at visiting Whitehaven Beach than sitting on a boat with 30 other impatient people.
The best time to travel to the Whitsundays and Airlie beach id from April To October, these are the dry months and the humidity is a lot lower that summer making the middle of the day bearable
Boat tours like ZigZag Whitsundays, Fury, and ocean rafting are open vessels with outboard motor on the back. These boats have some serious horse power and are designed to be skimming across the top of the ocean instead of sitting in it . This benefit also means for any one that gets sea sick , you will not experience any symptoms on board these fast day trips. These boats travel at the maximum speed for a Australian charter vessel which is 25 knots, believe me at this speed there is some serious fun on the water.
Before you go remember.
Most Whitsundays Tours depart from Abel point marina around 8-9am each day, you will be given a stinger suit (to protect you from any jelly fish) and snorkel equipment and a safety briefing then you will spend the next 40 minutes flying across the water to Hook Island, Here you will have your first snorkel and get to swim with hundreds of tropical fish and sea turtles and giant clams. Next is another 40-minute journey of the boat to a beach called chalkies. This beach is opposite Whitehaven Beach and has some nice snorkelling as well. From here it’s a 10-minute ride to Whitehaven Beach where you get lunch and around 2 hours to explore this wonderful beach.
On the ride home you get to think about your day and always want to go back for more! In reality, most travellers will never visit Australia again, so most tours have a after party at one of the bars in Airlie Beach so you can swap story’s and pictures to ensure your Whitsundays day out was one that will last a life time
