From Hamilton Island, we cruise through the picturesque Solway Passage to Whitehaven Beach – a “must-see” in the Whitsundays.

"Great way to see both islands" by Bindy
Long day but a good way to see both islands in one day. This was suitable for me and my family members who did not wish to snorkel/swim for the whole day. Preferred to just enjoy the beach and then wonder around. Great pub lunch included
