Description

Treasured as one of the world's most beautiful destination getaways, the Whitsunday Islands are famous for their pure-white silica sand, secluded reefs and beaches, diverse wildlife and crystal-clear waters. Stunning views, secluded beaches, fringing reefs and distinctive hoop pines complete the spectacular island picture.

Explore an underwater world of vibrant colour, snorkelling and diving with manta rays, fish and turtles in the fringing coral reefs of this Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

Witness the awe-inspiring acrobatic displays of majestic humpback whales visiting the Whitsundays every year between May and September.

Walk along the swirling, pure-white sands of world-famous Whitehaven Beach and see graceful migratory waders and seabirds visit the islands.

Hike through enchanted forests of towering native hoop pines on the headlands and hillsides to spectacular views. Keep your eyes peeled for unadorned rock-wallabies foraging about the forest for food.

Visit Hook Island's Nara Inlet and explore the ancient rock art and middens of Australia's earliest recorded Indigenous groups—the Ngaro People—who were seen by Captain James Cook during his exploration of the Whitsunday Passage.

Stay overnight and wake to the sound of waves breaking on the shore, camping at one of many secluded island camp sites.
