Located in between the Great Barrier Reef and Airlie Beach in Queensland’s central coast are the Whitsunday Islands. The Whitsunday region is known for adventurous Whitsundays tours and activities such as sailing, snorkelling, jet skiing, ocean rafting, scuba diving, and skydiving.
Boasting 74 tropical islands to its name, this part of East Coast Australia will have you wanting more with each day to come. There are plenty of sailing options to keep you occupied while you tick off your bucket list highlights. Visit the iconic Whitehaven Beach, regularly voted one of the top beaches in the world for years running. See the incredible swirling sand formation, different every day as the tide changes, from Hill Inlet Lookout. Relax on the pristine white sand and soak up the sun, and keep your eye out for baby Manta Rays that love to chill out in the shallows. Some of our favourite spots for epic coral reef snorkelling are Hook Island, Langford Island, and Hayman Island – though we know your epic tour guides and sailboat captains will take you to the best hidden gems in the Whitsundays.
The most popular way to explore the islands is with a unique sailing adventure. Whether it be on a speedy and stable catamaran, an adrenaline fuelled adventure boat, a traditional tall ship, or relaxing on a premium yacht, you’ll be able to see this amazing part of the world. Enjoy an all in one day tour that highlights the must see spots in the Whitsundays, or take on an epic two or three day sailing journey to witness everything the islands have to offer.
