Whitsunday Islands
74 Islands bordered by the Great Barrier Reef make up the beautiful Whitsundays. This is a justifiably world famous island group with picture perfect views and endless ways to explore, and relax. Fly to Hamilton Island or stay at Airlie Beach (access by coach from Proserpine Airport) before exploring the island group. Do take to the water to sail or cruise the islands, perhaps the best way to make the most of your stay. But be sure to indulge in the luxuries of at least one of the island resorts. Choose from Daydream Island for a good value resort, Peppers Palm Bay for remote tranquility, Hayman for exclusivity and luxury Hamilton Island for activity or the exquisite qualia.
