Amazing experience - We had an amazing experience on this day tour. Dan, Jess and Tristian were super friendly and helped us enjoy our day in this stunning part of Australia. Whitehaven beach and the bbq were lovely and we took a walk up to a viewpoint which was gorgeous as well. After that we got back in the boat and continued on to Hill Inlet which was absolutely amazing. We only ended up having an hour and 10 mins to see the viewpoints and to swim (which needed ~20 mins of walking) so I just wish we had 30 less minutes at Whitehaven put towards hill inlet :) Other than that I would highly recommend this tour as it was a lovely day that we’ll remember forever!

True Australia Tour - We had a truly Australia experience on our Whitehaven Xpress day trip to Whitehaven Beach. Captain Dan is a local who has been piloting this excursion for over 35 years. This family owned business provided a safe, fun filled day that included a home style BBQ on the beach. His shipmate, Jessica, made us home cooked vegan meals so we could also participate in the picnic activity. The crew’s friendly attention to personal needs was a special effort not available on larger tour boats. A great sense of real Aussie life and hospitality!! Thanks mate!! Jim and Linda McLellan

Memorable trip with the family... - The trip was perfect with right size of people and great beach BBQ. This is one of the few tour which is kids (infants) friendly. We had great time with comfortable boat ride, nice food (also including vegetarian), great views, sufficient time at the lookouts & at the Whithaven beach. I will surely recommend this family operated tour.

Amazing- highly recommend - Amazing day! Would not hesitate to recommend. Everyone so friendly and Jess went above and beyond especially welcoming the children, even holding the baby whilst I ate my lunch, took toddler to the top deck and shells which he loved playing with. If any doubt book this. Great lunch including home made veggie burgers which were delicious. Hard to get a good veggie lunch but this was very tasty and plenty of it. Meat section very good and again good quantities. Boat was perfect really good size and good amount of time spent at each location. Great selection of drinks at the on board bar.

Thats the Trip you want! - Family owned company - Small boat not too crowded! Perfect atmosphere on the boat and the beaches. The BBQ at the beach was awesome! All Food is home made - thats the taste! The views and the beaches are unbelieveable! We also saw some whales on our way back where a super tasty cheese plate was served including a home made french onion dip what more would you expect from a trip?

Fun, relaxing, professional - The hosts, Jess, Captain Dan, and Tristan were great. Very professional experience, but they also added a personal touch. I would highly recommend chosing Whitehaven Xpress if you are after a fun and relaxing day on Whitehaven beach. The BBQ was also delicious!

Fabulous day out - We had a really lovely day. Whitehaven Express delivered on all that it promised. Pick up from our accommodation was great. The staff were incredibly friendly and this leant a personal touch to the day. Lunch was plentiful and really good quality food. We felt this trip was very good value for money . Very pleased to have chosen a family run business for our tour. Big thanks to Jess, Captain Dan, Tristan and Jill.
