The good full-day tours go weeks out and the best go sooner. Below: the 15 to lock in early, what each includes and where they differ.

“Guide Ben was absolutely incredible. Smoothest, most caring, informative voice and his logistical and communication skills were impeccable. I would do any tour with him. Not to mention the itinerary and all the attractions and sights were perfect and perfectly curated.”
Whitehaven eco cruise from Airlie Beach: fast catamaran snorkeling at Hook Island, Hill Inlet lookout walk, Whitehaven sand and buffet.

Guided Moreton Island day trip from Brisbane: wreck snorkeling, transparent kayak, 4WD sandboarding, beach lunch, all day with pros.
“We had such a fun time kayaking and snorkelling and lunch was great! We had great guides who were super friendly and knowledgeable. Big shout out to all the guides, Will, Ryan, Byron,Kyle (sorry we can’t remember everyone’s names). Only feedback would be to make the sand boarding groups smaller/have more guides just to give more time to sand board as it felt very rushed! Overall we had a great time and so glad we came.”
Full-day Fitzroy Island from Cairns with ferry transfer and rainforest hikes, plus optional glass-bottom boat, snorkeling gear, or lunch.
“We would definitely recommend the guided snorkeling tour. The Marine Biologists are great. The rest of the crew was nice and friendly as well. They took great care of everyone. Boat was fast and clean. We would recommend this tour.”

“The tour was organized well. In addition, weather was perfect and the tour guide, Michael was fantastic.”
K'gari Fraser Island day trip from Rainbow Beach with 4WD sand driving, Lake McKenzie swim, Eli Creek float, Maheno wreck, lunch.
“Great experience to see a truly unique environment on K’gari. Tour guide was first class, very friendly, funny and so knowledgeable about everything on the island. Only slight downside was the attractions are quite far apart on K’gari, meaning for a day tour you spend the majority of your time on the bus. Whilst the tour itself was great and as efficient as possible, the lack of time outside the bus made us feel it was a little overpriced.”
Airlie’s Whitehaven Beach full-day trip with optional snorkeling, buffet lunch, water-taxi transfers, and the South Lookout walk.
“Amazing views, you will be literally “breathtaking”. The beach is very beautiful, we recommend going up to the viewpoint.”
