The Whitsundays are one of Australia’s most sought after tourist destinations. This region lies on Queensland’s central coast and is centered around the towns of Airlie Beach, Mackay and the islands and resorts of the Whitsunday passage. Captain James Cook first discovered the Whitsunday passage when sailing up the east coast of Australia on his voyage of discovery. The region is one of the most scenically beautiful in Australia and there is a huge range of island resorts and activities to choose from.

All of the resorts will arrange tours and transfers for you. Trips to the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach are extremely popular and should not be missed when holidaying in the area. Hamilton Island is home to the Great Barrier Reef Airport which has regular services from Cairns in the north and all the Southern capitals.

The Reef View Hotel and the Whitsunday holiday apartment are the two most popular.
