This was a fabulous day out. Cost $210 each but there was an option to take a cruise on another day at a fraction of the cost.The staff are great and very informative. Glass bottom boat, underwater observatory both fantastic viewing. I couldn't go diving or snorkeling as I had broken my hand so decided to take the helicopter ride... More

My parents and I took the half-day Whitehaven Beach cruise and had a great day. Courtesy pick up from your accommodation then a really funny commentary all afternoon on the cruise to Whitehaven via Daydream Island and Hamilton Island. Fully licensed bar on board and snack food available. 1.5 hours on the stunning Whitehaven Beach, stinger suits and games equipment... More

We had a great day. The weather was excellent which certainly helped. The crew were all very friendly and made jokes all day to make it enjoyable. It seemed well organised and we were picked up from our island in time for the trip. Snorkeling was decent. Not great but good. Our stop at Whitehaven Beach was nice. Lunch was... More

Lovely snorkeling with good facilities and friendly staff. Lunch food was good, however average afternoon tea and morning tea . Not able to cater for dietary requirements. Be prepared with loads of cash after you pay the $210 for the day, $120 if you want to scuba or helicopter, then snorkelling tours, photos, massages and drinks!! Certainly captured market. Great...

Did the combo Great Barrier Reef (Knucle Reef) and Camira cruise to Whitehaven beach for 274 AUD. Very good value for two very good trips. - Great barrier Reef : ecstatic, cruise a bit long to go there (like 2 hours). Take the pills if you want no risk to get sea sick. About those pills, I think they should... More

We did two trips with Cruise Whitsundays: Whitehaven Half-Day Tour – This is a good leisurely tour. We took this tour the first full day we were in Airlie beach. Bring snack for afternoon and bring a camera. If your camera is not waterproof put in zip lock to keep sand out of it while on Whitehaven Beach. You will... More

My friends and I went out on the Camira day trip. It was pretty awesome. The sights were beautiful and the food was fantastic. They also had free wine and beer which was a definite plus! I wish they would have spent more time on Whitehaven beach, and gone to the Hill Inlet but we only had so much time.... More

Cruise Whitsundays purple cat Camira is the best daytrip that I have experiences thus far in the Whitsundays. All inclusive and loads of fun! The crew on this vessel are a credit to the company and on the two occassions that I have explored Whitehaven with them, they have taken good care of myself and my family members. More
