The Allure of the Whitsunday Islands

There is no secret why so many visitors choose the Whitsunday Islands as their ultimate holiday destination. Comfortably situated along the backside of the mainland’s tropical rainforest, the Whitsunday Islands offer the best of resort living and some of the finest natural surroundings along the Queensland Coast.
The islands of the Whitsundays share a close proximity to one another, which means that island hopping and cruising along the islands’ many passages and lagoons is a popular treat for vacationers of this magical land.

During a Whitsunday Islands Holiday, the first thing you’ll notice is the spectacular, powder-white beaches, which practically beg to be strolled and frolicked along. The beautiful stretches of pristine beach lend themselves to the serene, almost surreal, surroundings of these superb, Queensland islands. Just a few of the sought-after destinations of the Whitsundays include Airlie Beach and Whitehaven Beach. Whitehaven Beach, in fact, is arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

If the coastline doesn’t draw you to the Whitsundays, then the close proximity to the exceptional beauty of the Great Barrier Reef certainly will. The Whitsunday Islands are located in the heart of this spectacular natural wonder of the world, which thereby enables visitors to explore the rainbow-colored reef in many different ways. From snorkeling to diving to sailing, there are many tours which depart every day from the Whitsundays to the Great Barrier Reef, thereby enabling visitors on holiday to experience this truly magnificent natural gem.

 

 

Although the Whitsundays are comprised of 74 islands, there are a few that stand out from the crowd. The first of which is Hamilton Island, which is the largest island among the Whitsundays, and the most popular, as well. Hamilton Island provides easy access to the Great Barrier Reef from its harbour, from which many day trips and boat tours embark every day. Sailing the Whitsundays from Hamilton Island provides a fantastic cruise journey to the Great Barrier Reef.

Hayman Island is another popular spot in the Whitsundays, mainly because of its luxury accommodation. From upscale cuisine to trendy boutiques, Hayman Island is the place to be for the most discriminating of guests. Daydream Island, on the other hand, is geared towards family resorts and hotels.
