The Whitsundays, made up of 74 islands and the coastal town of Airlie Beach, is located halfway between Brisbane and Cairns on the Queensland coast. This paradise is home to mostly uninhabited islands, each characterised by lush national parks, scenic hiking trails, and powdery white sandy beaches. At its heart lies the world’s largest living structure, the Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage site that stretches across the turquoise waters, teeming with marine life and offering unparalleled opportunities for exploration and adventure.
Cruise Whitsundays is the region’s largest and most experienced marine operator. We offer guests a range of day cruises and island resort connections. Cruises visit the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach and islands, with unique overnight experiences also available including Australia’s first underwater accommodation, ‘Reefsuites’.
Resort Connections provide services between the islands and the Whitsunday Coast, connecting with arrivals and departures at Hamilton Island Airport. Tours depart from Hamilton Island, as well as from Port of Airlie in Airlie Beach and Daydream Island.
