Christmas and New Year's in the Whitsundays are one of the most fun and busiest times of the year. Full of fun activities, parties, celebrations and more, it is a sought-after holiday destination for people all over Australia and the world. For this reason, it's important to book ahead and make a plan before coming to the Whitsundays.

You can always ask to see what is available, but below are some boats that tend to be available last minute that will still ensure you have an amazing time in the Whitsundays.

The Whitsundays is a top destination with many people booking their trips months in advance. For this reason, many top tours will be booked out many weeks and even months ahead of their departure date. However, this doesn't mean that those booking last minute are not still able to have an amazing time in the Whitsundays.

With day tours, scenic flights, and plenty to do in Airlie Beach itself, visitors to the Whitsundays will definitely have the ultimate Christmas and New Years' celebration.
