Explore the beauty of the Whitsundays
Situated 1000k north of Brisbane, this infamous destination boasts 74 islands, mostly inclusive of uninhabited national parks. With plenty of anchoring options spanning across the region, visitors can choose a route that is both flexible and convenient.
Named by the one and only James Cook, these islands came to be discovered in 1770, but was previously home to active volcanoes millions of years ago. More notably, this area is home to the Ngaro Aboriginal community, otherwise known as the ‘Canoe People’.
