Snorkelling
The coral reefs around the Whitsunday Islands are renowned for being absurdly beautiful and full of life. Renowned all over the world, the islands offer unique protection for the surrounding fringing reefs, meaning the coral beds are untouched and in pristine condition. It’s the perfect spot for an abundance of coral species to flourish, and offers an amazing environment for turtle, dolphin, dugong and fish spotting. You might even be lucky enough to spot a reef shark or manta rays!
