Palm Beach, qualia's private motor yacht, at anchor in the Whitsundays

Private Charter

Palm Beach is a 55-foot luxury motor yacht kept for Hamilton Island guests alone. Your own skipper and host take you where you like in the Whitsundays: a half day, a full day, or out for sunset with drinks and canapés.

Robbie Congoo guiding guests on Hook Island

Cultural Island Discovery

A morning on Hook Island with Ngaro man Robbie Congoo. Cross aboard Pebble Beach, walk the island with Robbie as he shares the culture and stories of his people, then return to Champagne and canapés from Executive Chef Joshua Hingston.

The Heart Island pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef

Journey to the Heart

Fly over Whitehaven Beach to the private helipad at Heart Island, then spend the afternoon on the reef: a glass-bottom boat over Heart Reef, snorkelling from the pontoon, and the pontoon to yourselves.

Whitehaven Wonder

Cruise to Whitehaven Beach on qualia's day boat, skippered and hosted. Swim off the silica sand, take lunch on board, and be back by early afternoon.

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement.
