10 Half-Day Whitsunday Experiences

August 2, 2019 by Roxanne Bowden

Short on Time? No worries! Here are 10 half-day (or less) experiences while in the Whitsundays;

Providence V Sunset Sail

Set sail as the sun sets over the horizon and let the sea breeze take away all your troubles on Providence V’s sunset sail. A unique opportunity to sail on a tall ship and a relaxing way to spend the evening. Nibbles are included as the sun goes down and so is a complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival.

The ultimate thrill-seeking aerial experience! Take in the amazing views of the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef by skydiving one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Island Jet Boat

A thrilling 60-minute ride amongst some of the Whitsunday islands, traveling in a fun and adventurous way whilst gliding over the water at 40km. This exhilarating ride will get the adrenaline pumping with spins, twists and tricks throughout.

Hang out on the Mainland

If you are short on time then hang out on the mainland, visit the Airlie Beach lagoon, take a hike through the nearby rainforests, relax at some of the cafes or if the weather has been rainy then drive out to Cedar Creek falls.
