Boat Options for Solo Travellers, Whitsundays
The Whitsunday Islands are a great choice of holiday destination not only for groups of backpackers wanting to party, or honeymooners want to relax, but also for solo travellers wanting a unique experience among like-minded people.
The town itself is the perfect mix of relaxation and socialising, offering a great place to mix, mingle and meet fellow solo travellers, and there are plenty of overnight boat trips to choose between if you are travelling by yourself. Travelling alone can be one of the best ways to see Australia and finding the right boat for you in the Whitsundays will help you enjoy your trip, your way!
