WHITSUNDAYS
Welcome to The Whitsundays - one of nature's most remarkable gifts, blessed with the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef along with literally hundreds of tropical islands and some of the Worlds most beautiful golden beaches. For visitors this means that plenty of activities abound from beach games at island resorts and championship golf courses with a view, to the buzzing nightlife in the coastal town of Airlie Beach.
Choose to sail in the blue calm waters, water ski, parasail, camp or enjoy the many facilities of a luxury resort. Nature's tropical selection of island and coastal delights awaits you. Welcome to Destination Paradise - the islands, the waterways and the coast - there are so many holiday temptations in the Whitsundays.
You can skipper your own vessel, go sailing for the day, snorkel and scuba dive at one of the most widely recognised dive destinations in Australia, fish for Coral Trout or the legendary Black Marlin, water ski, explore rainforests, go horse riding, be pampered in a luxury resort or party the night away in Airlie Beach.
The choice is yours - limited only by your imagination. This tropical sub-rainforest region is around 1,125 kilometres north of Brisbane, or 650 kilometres south of Cairns. The Cumberland and Northumberland Island groups, commonly called the Whitsunday Islands, form the largest offshore island chain on Australia’s east coast and provide a magical holiday escape with something for everyone.
