Whitsunday Islands
The Whitsunday Islands, often referred to simply as The Whitsundays, are a cluster of 74 islands stretching across the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. The majority of these islands are untouched national parks, however a few offer all-inclusive resort accommodation and activities so that you can soak up the tropical island paradise. Daydream Island is one of the most accessible islands only 30 minutes from the mainland, while Whitsunday Island further out hosts the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. For a more low-key island experience, Camp Island in the northern Whitsundays is available as your very own private island - the perfect place to unplug and immerse yourself in the natural wonder of the Great Barrier Reef. Travelling around the islands is easily accomplished through charter cruises, water taxis, or even seaplane. Whether you're chasing ultimate relaxation, or unforgettable outdoor adventure, the Whitsundays has it all.
