About Cruise Whitsundays

To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Cruise Whitsundays offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Main Stations of Cruise Whitsundays?

Cruise Whitsundays ferries travel to a number of popular destinations. The list of the stations serviced by Cruise Whitsundays includes but is not limited to:

• Hamilton Island Marina
• Daydream Island
• Hamilton Island Airport
• Shute Harbour
• Port of Airlie

What are the Most Popular Routes of Cruise Whitsundays?

Here are some of the most popular piers covered by Cruise Whitsundays’s schedule:

• Hamilton Island - Airlie Beach
• Airlie Beach - Hamilton Island
• Daydream Island - Airlie Beach
• Airlie Beach - Daydream Island
• Hamilton Island - Proserpine
• Hamilton Island - Daydream Island
• Proserpine - Hamilton Island
• Daydream Island - Hamilton Island

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Cruise Whitsundays?

The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.

Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel

Pros of ferry travel.

• To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
• Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
• Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
• Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.

Cons of Ferry Travel

• Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
• Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

All refunds are in Australian Dollars and must be made to the card of payment. Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel is not liable for exchange rate fluctuations or fees, or any other merchant/bank fees associated with domestic and/or international transactions.

Where a full refund is applicable, there is the option to transfer the whole cost of the tour to another tour or “Credit” to avoid the administration fee. A transfer fee of $20 will apply.

You will be emailed confirmation once the refund has been processed. Once the refund has been processed, it may still take time for the banks to clear the amount. Please allow 7-10 business days for the funds to clear into Australian accounts and up to 21 business days for international accounts.
