We were originally booked on another tour but they cancelled at the time of pickup on the morning citing minimum number not met and poor weather conditions...we were very dissapointed and moved to this booking as we left the next day. After reading reviews I was not expecting much but very quickly after boarding the boat I was impressed.
Yes as others said you pickup on other islands but we quite enjoyed being on the boat as weather conditions were poor it was a good opportunity to see the area. We changed boat at Hamilton Island and felt from that point it was more tour like with the captain talking about what was around the area on either side. My daughter felt a little unwell and Brooke made her very comfortable with water, sick bag and an ice pack, she really went out of her way to make her feel better. She shared information about the island and was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
When we arrived at Whitehaven the weather improved and we had a great experience. The company offer equipment at the beach to use, there was no charge for this or stinger suits, and included paddle boards. There weren't huge amounts but enough to enjoy. On the beach we met Chloe from the company too who was also friendly and informative about the island.
Brooke then fed the fish allowing us to see many types which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed and was again informative about the species.
We boarded the boat and had a nice snack on the journey back including salami, olives, cheese, crackers and cake.
If the weather had been better I would have wanted longer at the beach than two hours but we booked the half day tour so we were expecting that. Overall all the staff were fantastic, but specific mention to Brooke and Chloe who made us very welcome. I would recommend the company and the tour but if you want longer at the beach or to visit the reef then this isn't the tour for you. It was perfect for ourselves given the previous cancelled tour with a different operator and then exceeded our expectations.

we booked with cruise whitsunday to do a half day Whitehaven beach tour in early July. We booked on the Wednesday of our stay for a Thursday half day trip and on the Wednesday night 3 members of our family became violently ill with food poisoning. We were told we could reschedule within a 5 day period but if we cancelled we lost our money ($500) but would be refused entry on the boat under health regulations if we tried to go. We rescheduled for the Friday. By 11am Friday we were still unwell and cancelled our tour. We tried to compromise with cruise whitsunday to get our money refunded but the took our $500 and ran. Absolutely disgusting service, no compassion under extreme circumstances and Absolutely no willingness to compromise. Never again.

It was a nice day over all
Crew were so good and provided us with water , plenty of food and guidance.
But the downside was;
1- This is a multi-stop route to Whitehaven ( as they go from Airlie Beach to Day Dream Island drop off guests and pick up other guests , followed by another stop at Hamilton Island for drop off and pick up , then end up in Whitehaven) so the trip takes 2.5 hours each way ) - so total of 5 hours is wasted of your day
2- That boat can fit more than 150 people , so it was really crowded with people on top of each other ( everyone had a seat , but still too crowded in my opinion )
3- The indoor are was very smelly , I think the Carpet needs a good wash or replacement and the AC filters looks like they haven’t been replaced for years ( and showed errors on the LCD screen of the AC )
We ended up spending 1 hour and 45 minutes on Whitehaven beach , and 5 hours in transportation!
Considerings the $$ paid , I Would try to find a trip that goes directly to Whitehaven beach ( not the Multi-stop option ) -

The day was great, and the cruise is an excellent choice for everyone. Morning tea consisted of some fresh fruit and cookies, with additional items available for purchase. Please note this morning cruise from Airlie departs at 7.15am and does not return to Airlie until approx 2.30pm and ours included a change of boat at Hamilton idea which caught everyone by surprise and created a lot of confusion and uncertainty.
