About Us

Cruise Whitsundays, based in Airlie Beach, is the largest marine-based tour and transport provider in the Whitsundays.
Providing close encounters with the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach, and the islands of the Whitsundays, Cruise Whitsundays operates 10 modern, well-equipped, air-conditioned vessels, plus a world-class sailing catamaran, offering a range of tours, as well as an inter-island resort connection service, with regular daily departures at three islands, one airport, and two mainland ports.

Cruise Whitsundays also operates Australia's first underwater accommodation, Reef suites, and a Reefsleep glamping experience at the Reefworld pontoon, moored offshore at Hardy Reef on the Great Barrier Reef.

From our cruises to our sailing adventures to our world-renowned underwater accommodation, there's no better way to experience the Whitsundays, and you won't find a friendlier or more experienced crew to work with.
When the ocean is your office, every day is a good one.
