Overview

Viper is the only tour fast enough to get you to the hero destinations all in one day! No other tour can have you snorkelling on the outer Great Barrier Reef, doing the Hill Inlet bushwalk, and relaxing on Whitehaven Beach itself, in just a single day.
Our Marine Biologist on board conducts a guided snorkel safari on the reef for those who are interested. The spacious swim platform and in-water stairs make getting in and out of the water easy.
Our Rolls Royce jets offer comfortable but fast cruising speeds of around 36 knots, with very little environmental impact.
Due to the speed and manoeuvrability of the boat, all passengers MUST be 130cm or taller to ride.

**This tour is NOT suitable for anyone with a mobility impairment, back/neck/spine complaints, or those unable to walk unassisted. If you hesitated at any of these conditions, please call us to discuss how we can help you enjoy the Viper experience**

*Please Note this tour is not suitable for guests arriving by cruise ship*

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Viper: Great Barrier Reef Snorkel Including Whitehaven Hill Inlet?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
