Whitsundays holiday magic.

What is it that makes the Whitsundays so special?

Is it the beautiful blue water, always a pleasant temperature so we can swim when we please?

Is it the tropical weather, hot for most of the year with a few months of rain to freshen us up?

Is it the magnificent Great Barrier Reef and fringing reef, home to an endless range of marine life?

Is it the friendly and pleasant people, both locals and tourists alike, who get to appreciate and wonder at this special environment every day?

It is a combination of these things that makes the Whitsundays a truly special place to visit. Whether its a family holiday, backpacking adventure, romantic escape, the activities available here are endless and fun for all.

Most visitors to the Whitsundays comment on the beautiful azure blue of the seas around the islands. The stunning rich blue is due to fine particles suspended in the water, this sediment reflects light back to the surface, giving our seas around the islands a very impressive aquamarine colour.

Along with the beautiful blue of the ocean is the stark contrast with the snow white sands of Whitehaven Beach. Made of pure silica the powdery white sands of the Whitehaven beach is not found anywhere else in Australia. Take a walk on the beach and feel the soft sands squeeze up between your toes, gazing out over the blue water you know this is paradise found.
