The Whitsundays are a chain of beautiful islands along the barrier reef, whose white sand makes it one of Australia's most unique tourist destinations. Whether you want to explore the islands by boat or just relax on the island's beautiful beaches this place can be the perfect beach holiday.
Fun is easy to find on your Australian holiday to the Whitsundays. For those who want a bit of an adventure holiday you can cruise to the Great Barrier Reef and even go diving if you want, spend a night on a reefsleep, fly over Heart Reef and go whale watching.
Then, for those who want to really explore the islands you can either hire your own boat or sailing ship or join in a group cruise, both options of which are guaranteed to make you wish you could spend the rest of your life in the Whitsundays.
When you feel like relaxing the Whitsundays will cater to your needs. You can enjoy the amazing Whithaven Beach, or any of the many beaches in the area, or visit Bowen with its combination of beaches, golf and an exceptional lookout.
There are also enough walks to keep those hikers among you happy, including the Great Walk and Cedar Creek Falls, and if you want to swim without worrying about the beasts of the sea then Arlie Beach Lagoon is a huge saltwater pool.
There is a huge variety of accommodation throughout the Whitsunday, including resorts, hostels, bed and breakfasts, hotels and apartments and these range from good quality budget accommodation, to exceptionally high quality resorts.
For those looking for the very best deals there are many hostels in the area, including Backpackers by the Bay in Arlie Beach, which offers cheap rates. If you want to be pampered throughout your holiday then resorts like Club Med Lindeman Island may be more to your liking, and there are plenty of these on offer in the area.
The Whitsundays are the sort of place that you will probably regret missing out on if you don't visit them during your holiday in Australia, so seriously think about making them the location of your beach holiday.
