Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef

Explore the Whitsunday Islands, a tropical beach escape in the heart of the Coral Sea

The Whitsunday Islands sit off the coast of Queensland, right in the centre of the Great Barrier Reef. This breathtaking archipelago of 74 islands is known for its white sand beaches, turquoise waters and abundant marine life, making it a perfect base for exploring the reef itself.
