What kind of evening does Sundowner suit?

This is a social coastal cruise with a licensed bar. Choose it for an evening activity; choose a Whitehaven day tour when beach time or Hill Inlet is the goal.

What should you check before booking?

Check the sunset-only option, seasonal departure and boarding requirements. Ask the operator about access needs before paying. Shared nibbles do not replace a restaurant dinner, and no wildlife sighting or sunset conditions are guaranteed.

Where should you stay?

Compare Airlie waterfront accommodation, then use the orientation map to distinguish the two marinas. An island hotel does not include transport to this mainland departure.

What’s included

  • Sunset cruise
  • Welcome sparkling wine or soft drink
  • Shared nibbles
