The Resorts and islands that make up the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef are arguable amongst the most beautiful in the world. The Cumberland & 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. Sail yourself around the calm waters or choose a crewed charter and be pampered. You'll find nearly 70 national park and deserted islands, as well as numerous island resorts. When holidaying at one of the many Whitsunday resorts bathe in the year round warm water or explore the Great Barrier Reef. The reef stretches over 2000 kilometers and is like no other natural wonder anywhere in the world. Shellfish of all kinds, from tiny cowries to giant clams, brilliantly colored sunfish, coral cod, red emperor, octopus and shark all jostle in the teeming waters, while underlying everything are the hundreds of varieties of living coral in shapes and colours that rival even the fish. Sail, snorkel or just relax, it's all here for you to enjoy. Bordered by the Great Barrier Reef and cradled by the calm waters of the Coral Sea, the Whitsundays lies midway along Australia's Queensland coast. The region spans from the beautiful beaches of Bowen in the north to the cane fields and sugar mills of inland Proserpine to the gorgeous golf greens of Laguna Whitsundays in the south. Its 74 islands - only eight of which are inhabited - are surrounded by one of the world's seven natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef. Whether you choose to bush walk, scuba dive or sail, there are a myriad of ways to experience the Whitsundays. Island and coastal accommodation options range from camp sites in National Parks to luxury resorts and cater to families after fun and honeymooners in search of seclusion and romance. Discover the wonder that is Heart Reef. Sink your feet into the white, silica sands of world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Or simply sail at sunset across our crystal-clear waters. These are the colours and images of the Whitsundays - each a postcard of a perfect holiday. You will have a vast array of things to occupy your time when you stay at one of the resort located on one of the many islands in the Whitsunday. You could sail around the Whitsundays 74 Islands, cruise to the Great Barrier Reef, let your feet sink into the silica white sand of Whitehaven Beach, spend a memorable night on the reef and under the stars on a Reefsleep, learn to scuba dive at some of the best reefs in the world, including the Stepping Stones and the Cathedrals Snorkel among some 1500 species of fish and 400 types of coral, fly over Heart Reef for a bird's-eye view of this amazing icon, hike to the lookout for stunning views of Whitsunday Island, catch a seaplane or helicopter to a private beach for a picnic to remember, go whale watching or crocodile spotting, enjoy great food and wine, hike through a National Forest on the Whitsundays Great Walk or just kick back and watch the sun set over the 74 Islands. Along with the different water sports and on island activities you days can be a fun filled or as lay back you like.
