Welcome to your ideal holiday location: The Whitsundays on the tropical Queensland coast of Australia.
Experience numerous resort and uninhabited islands, coral reefs, waterways and mainland forests. From relaxing and sedate to thrilling and the wild side, The Whitsundays has it all. Choose from an array of island and mainland accommodation options. Or split your stay between island and mainland bases for the best of both worlds.
Seem too good to be true? A rare geographic location, blissful weather and the excellent service ethic at local receptions and booking offices make it all possible.
The Whitsunday coast, islands and fringing reefs are protected from most adverse weather conditions by the nearby Great Barrier Reef. The average daytime temperature is 23-30°C with odd summer surges to around 34°C with typical tropical humidity. In winter, expect temperate, sunny days and crystal clear, cool nights.
Pack only the basics: a camera, 30+ sunblock, a wide-brimmed hat, UV protective sunglasses and casual clothes - natural fibres, something just a little more dressy for special nights out and a warm jacket for cooler nights on the water. Shoes? Think sandals and a casual soft-soled pair that protects feet from coral beaches yet doesn’t mark boat decks. If you leave anything behind, you can grab it locally.
Once you've been here, you'll see why The Whitsundays is also an ideal destination for weddings and honeymoons. |
