Experience the Whitsundays from the sky
Do you prefer the comfort of daydreaming out a plane's window, or are you a daredevil and would rather jump out of it? We have both scenic flights and skydiving available if you're looking for a unique way to take in the gorgeous views of the Whitsunday islands.
Our scenic flights offer an entire new way of experiencing the Whitsundays. You can choose to fly over Whitehaven Beach, The Great Barrier Reef, or even the famous Heart Reef! But if the adrenaline junkie in you is crying out, grab your friends or family (if they are brave enough) and book in for a tandem skydive to make this Easter one you will never forget!
Relax and unwind on a sunset cruise
Soak in that golden hour glow aboard one of our sunset cruise tours. Leaving from Airlie Beach, you can spend your Easter long weekend sipping champagne as you watch the sunset fall behind the islands, turning the sky into stunning shades of orange and pink. We have tall ships, catamarans, or private charter sunset tours available!
Spend a day on Whitehaven Beach
From speedy, fast boats to relaxing catamaran’s, choose how you’d like to get to Whitehaven Beach. Depending on which tour you choose, you can spend your Easter snorkelling on the exotic coral reef, paddle boarding, hiking up to the Inlet Hill lookout, feasting on a delicious lunch, or kicking back on the boat and having a couple of drinks.
Experience the islands on an overnight sail
One of the best ways you can get to know the Whitsundays this Easter is by spending two or three days immersing yourself in the breathtaking environment! Whether you want to jump aboard a party boat, have a relaxing getaway on a private catamaran, or you’re keen to sleep on the Great Barrier Reef - we have an abundance of options.
