Itinerary highlights
Whitehaven Beach
Whitehaven Beach is a pristine, award winning beach on Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. Whitehaven Beach stretches over seven kilometres and boasts brilliant white silica sand that is among the purest in the world. Sink your feet into the sand and wade into the warm waves that gently lap the shore and you’ll soon realise why people come here from all over the world.
Hill Inlet Lookout
At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach is Hill Inlet, a stunning inlet where the tide shifts the sand and water to create a beautiful fusion of colours. Many people claim Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach are the most beautiful places they’ve ever seen. The lookout at Tongue Point is the best spot from which to view the swirling sands of Hill Inlet, so if you don’t mind a short bushwalk, book your Whitehaven tour with an operator that visits the lookout.
Fringing Great Barrier Reef
Popular with tourists and locals for snorkelling, diving and sightseeing, The Whitsundays is known for its coral and fish life including a resident Maori Wrasse. Day tours and overnight boats visit fringing locations of the Great Barrier Reef for snorkelling and or scuba diving.
Visitors typically swim directly off their vessel, or tender to the beach and enter the water from the coral beach.
