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.

Island luxury in the Whitsundays

The Whitsundays are a playground for both water and land-based adventures. Snorkel or dive among vibrant coral gardens, kayak along the coastline or take scenic flights over the famous Heart Reef. On land, enjoy island hikes to panoramic lookouts, beach picnics and sunset walks.

The Hamilton Island Beach Club is an adults-only retreat offering absolute beachfront luxury in the Whitsundays, with direct access to the pristine sands of Catseye Beach. Its intimate atmosphere, elegant suites, and personalised service make it an outstanding choice for a romantic Australian honeymoon or a truly indulgent holiday.

Whitsundays sailing trips

For the ultimate Whitsundays experience, you can charter your own yacht or catamaran, allowing you to explore the islands at your own pace. These private charters offer a personalised itinerary, complete with fine dining and secluded anchorages, a perfect addition to your luxury Australian holiday.

Whitsunday Islands accommodation

Hamilton Island is the most developed in the group and home to excellent accommodation, including the Reef View Hotel, a stylish and welcoming hotel perfect for families, where children under 12 can stay and eat for free. With spacious rooms, a relaxed atmosphere and easy access to activities, it makes an ideal base for exploring the islands.

Whether you seek adventure, relaxation or a bit of both, the Whitsundays deliver an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, warm hospitality and memorable experiences.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
