Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, and dessert are included, as well as tea, coffee, and filtered drinking tap water throughout your stay. Hammer is a BYOB vessel (no glass), so guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol on board if desired.
Tours aboard the Hammer Whitsundays offer up to 3 hours at the famous Whitehaven Beach, allowing ample photo opportunities of the 98% silica sand inlets and dunes, stunning turquoise waters, and Hill Inlet viewpoint. Up to 4 snorkel stops on the fringing reefs are planned for the chance to swim with tropical reef fish and turtles above the colorful reefs. All snorkel equipment and wetsuits are included in the trip. These tours are perfect for adventurous singles, couples, and groups aged 18-39 who are fit and able to move about a boat unassisted. Some individuals under the age of 18 may be accepted on board by special request.
