The Whitsunday region is one of
natures most remarkable gifts as it has been blessed with
the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef along with many tropical
islands and golden beaches including the famous Whitehaven
Beach, regarded as one of the best beaches in the world. 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 calm waters, water
ski, parasail, camp or enjoy the many facilities of a luxury
resort. Natures tropical selection of island and coastal
delights awaits your selection.
To Destination Paradise - the islands, the waterways and the coast - there are so many holiday temptations in the Whitsundays. This tropical sub-rainforest region is around 1,125 kilometres north of Brisbane, or 725 kilometres south of Cairns. The Cumberland and Northumberland Island groups, commonly called the Whitsunday Islands, form the largest offshore island chain on Australias east coast. You can skipper your own vessel, go sailing for the day, snorkel and scuba dive at the second largest dive destination in Australia, water ski, explore rainforests, go horseriding or be pampered in a luxury resort. The choice is yours - restricted only by your imagination.
Things to do in The Whitsundays:
* Take a cruise to one of the 74 idyllic Whitsunday
islands - from uninhabited coral cays to romantic lovers' retreats
to full-on party islands.
* Don't miss Whitehaven Beach, a snow-white
stretch of sand surrounded by crystal-clear waters.
* Take in the atmosphere at Airlie Beach. As
the water-side hub of the Whitsundays, the town attracts a cosmopolitan
mix of visitors from around the world.
* The Barefoot Bushman Rob Bredl is a real-life
Aussie adventurer. Rob's wildlife park features Rob's amazing
crocodile show, plus offers guests a chance to pat a koala,
feed a kangaroo - even hold a snake!
