CRUISE SHIP SHORE EXCURSIONS
If you are visiting Airlie beach on board a Cruise ship, then you might be interested in your own private tour, rather than being herded on board a vessel with 30 – 60 other passengers.
Whitsunday Paradise Explorer delivers a unique and memorable experience, exploring the beautiful Whitsunday Islands.
Tours are planned on a day-to-day basis and feature varied destinations. Explore the nearby islands, such as the Molle islands or enjoy longer excursions where we venture across the Whitsunday passage to Whitsunday Island and Hook Island.
Departure is from the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal in most situations due to limited access at Airlie Beach as well as the extra time needed for travel in the boat – please inquire about options.

We offer 4- & 6-hour trips and limit our seating to 4 Adults (or Max 6 persons if 2 or more are smaller sized children) on our vessel ‘Paradise Explorer’.
