Before you go
The full review
Most day trips make you choose between Whitehaven Beach and the outer reef, because the reef lies much further out. Viper's jet boat is built to cover that distance, so you get both.
The morning is for Hill Inlet and the beach, the afternoon for Bait Reef, where a guide leads the snorkel. The reef is open ocean rather than a sheltered bay, so this is a day for strong swimmers.
It is the most expensive day tour in our comparison, and worth it if the outer reef matters to you. Non-swimmers and families with young children are better off with Reefworld.
