  1. There’s something almost spiritual about the White on Whitehaven Long Lunch. With all the white about it must be a real cleansing experience. I’d love to do it.

  2. Though to be absolutely honest the Whitsundays are so beautiful that there are times when you don’t anything to entertain you other than the surrounding natural splendour.

  3. Is there a more beautiful spot for a beach festival on the planet? Wish I was in the neighbourhood for that one!

  4. As I’ve never been to the Whitsunday Islands I had always imagined the islands as a collection of almost deserted white sand paradises.

    Obviously, I’ve got it wrong. There’s far more going on there than I would ever have imagined.

  5. Whitsundays’ white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and vibrant coral reefs provides an unparalleled experience. To fully enjoy this paradise, you can embark on a sailing adventure on a cruise that allows you to hop between the Whitsunday Islands, snorkel over vibrant coral gardens, and relax on secluded beaches. This way, you can experience the Whitsundays’ unique allure while embracing the tranquility and natural wonders of this spectacular destination.
