4. On a sailboat
Sailing in the Whitsundays is one of the more well-known and fun things to do while visiting this part of Australia. There are many day and overnight sailing trips that are suitable for couples, any of which would provide the perfect place to propose. If you want something a step above the rest, opt to go on a luxury catamaran or luxury sailboat where you will find small numbers, an attentive crew and comfortable, private accommodation. Just picture yourself at anchor, with the soft lull of the ocean waves surrounding you, perhaps stars overhead with nothing but the sound of your own heart beating as you ask the love of your life to marry you!
5. Sunset cruise
Sail into romance as the sun sets in the Whitsundays. Enjoy a glass of champagne with your loved one and watch the sky come alive with colour as you get ready to ask the biggest question of your life! With sails above, waves below and colours all around, you couldn't ask for a better atmosphere to set the mood for a proposal.
6. Hamilton Island
If you want to venture outside the comforts of Airlie Beach, you can head to the beautiful Hamilton Island to pop the question. One Tree Hill is the island's renowned lookout point and offers beautiful views of the surrounding islands and blue ocean that certainly sets the mood for a romantic endeavour. You can rent a buggy and make your way to the lookout point with your loved one, where you will find the perfect place for sunset cocktails. Catseye Beach is another gorgeous spot to propose in the Whitsundays!
7. Cedar Creek Falls
If you're looking for somewhere a little different to propose, Cedar Creek Falls may just be the place. The rushing waterfall is best visited in the wet season, where the falls are at their best. The rock pool below is surrounded by lush green trees and creates an oasis in the middle of the forest. You will feel like the only two people in the world if you're able to catch this exotic place to yourselves and create the perfect romantic moment.
8. Off the beaten path
If you find yourself on a hike or in a remote, non-touristy town somewhere in the Whitsundays, why not bring the ring along, just in case? The walking paths and bush tracks around Airlie Beach and on the Whitsundays Islands create a feeling of adventure, romance and solitude that may offer the perfect opportunity to ask your partner to marry you. With wild birds calling and the sound of a light ocean breeze rustling the leaves on the trees and ferns on the ground, you can't ask for a more stunning place to pop the question.

10. Extreme and adventurous proposal
If you're proposing to an adrenaline addict, why not fuel their addiction with an extreme proposal? Buy them a skydive and wait at the bottom with a ring in hand! Or better yet, why not give them a ride in an aerobatic fighter plane? When they land, with a heart full of joy and a body full of energy, you can add for their perfect day and ask them to marry you! Or wait until you're at the summit of an epic hike and then pop the question.
11. Under the waves
Pop the question under the waves on the Great Barrier Reef with a scuba proposal. If you and your partner are into life under the water this is the perfect place to ask the big question! Prearrange this ahead of time, and make sure your instructor or guide is aware of your intentions so they can grab the moment on camera. You also might want to practice your pantomime beforehand, since you won't technically be asking any questions when you're down below! Just make sure you've tied the ring to something... Choose from one of the overnight diving boats for your chance to make a statement on your next scuba trip!
12. At A Luxury Resort
There are several resorts found all over the Whitsundays, all of which would make a great place to pop the question. They range from high-end flash resorts such as Hayman Island and Hamilton Island to eco-resorts like Elysian Retreat on Long Island or Cape Gloucester in
