The Whitsunday Island group is one of nature's remarkable gifts. They also lie next to one of the world's greatest wonders, the Great Barrier Reef. The crystal clear emerald waters of the Whitsundays remain a constant 20 - 25 degrees C throughout the year. Perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, para-sailing, sea kayaking or just lying by the pool enjoying a book.

While the 74 islands of the Whitsundays are essentially drowned mountains with peaks rising clear of the sea, many have fringing reef systems with beautiful corals. We also have beautiful sandy beaches including the world famous Whitehaven beach, the longest unbroken beach in the area.

The natural barrier created by the Great Barrier Reef creates beautiful calm waters providing one of the best boating destinations in the world. This fact was noted by one of our earlier guests Captain James Cook who mapped and named the Whitsundays in 1770.

Needless to say the fishing in the Whitsundays is nothing short of spectacular with Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Sweetlip and Spanish Mackerel in good supply. A variety of vessels will take you to nearby fishing grounds or to the Reef for the big game fish.

The environment in the Whitsundays and neighbouring rainforest is truly magnificent. There are tours that take you right inside the forest or take bush walking trips into Conway National Park.
