Day Cruise

A great way to see lots of the Whitsundays in a short amount of time is to book a day cruise. Board the boat in the morning and go around seeing different beaches all day.

There is nothing like sailing on calm water, letting the wind take you along. For a different type of sailing, you can come to Whitsundays to watch the yearly sailboat races.

Kayaking

When you’re in a place like the Whitsunday Islands, you have to take every opportunity to get in the water and be close to nature. The waters are generally calm and easy to manage in a kayak.
