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. Find yourself in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest living structure, a massive stretch of coral teeming with marine life. Here, the mostly uninhabited islands are characterised by national parks, hiking trails and white sandy beaches.
Cruise Whitsundays is the region’s largest and most experienced marine operator. Offering 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 to link with the airports’ arrivals and departures. Tours depart from Port of Airlie in Airlie Beach, Daydream Island and Hamilton Island.
