Whether you’re lazing about Whitehaven Beach, kayaking between island outposts or getting below the surface for a spot of diving, the Whitsundays are perfect for forgetting anything happening on the mainland!

One of the Whitsundays most desirable adventures is sailing, especially that of the legendary Atlantic Clipper. This awesome sailboat is billed as the most social in the Whitsundays, with a huge range of unforgettable activities adding to the excitement!

And much more. The Atlantic Clipper is easily one of the best experiences you can have on the Whitsundays, alongside these other gems:

Island kayaking

The Whitsundays is a series of gorgeously serene tropical islands with everything you can expect from such a description: white sand, gorgeous waters and palm trees.

One of the best ways to see the islands (apart from the aforementioned Atlantic Clipper) is via kayak island hopping.

You and your mates can rent world-class kayaks and take them between the islands, stopping at different beachside camping spots along the way. There is no better way to experience the variety in islands than through one of these kayaking adventures, as you explore new land and seascapes with each paddle…

Whitehaven Beach

Did we mention that this is Australia’s most beautiful beach? Just checked, yes, we did! Whitehaven Beach truly is Australia’s most beautiful, having been given the title on numerous occasions.

Is there anything more relaxing than kicking back on Whitehaven Beach, allowing that smooth island time and warm tropical breeze to refresh you in between dips in the cool water?

We’re not sure there is, you know.

Diving

The Whitsundays are right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, meaning it isn’t shy of its own unforgettable snorkelling and diving adventures. There are plenty of snorkel and dive options to choose from, with adventures ranging from newcomers to seasoned pros!
