Whitsunday nature, beaches and island parks, QLD
Natural Encounters
Your first time face to face with a 300kg groper can be intimidating.
However, as soon as you realise what gentle giants these beautiful fish are, you become keen to meet the rest of the Great Barrier Reef locals. And what colourful locals they are! The spectacular butterfly fish, the shy seahorse, the playful clownfish and the grumpy old sea turtle. These are just some of the characters that inhabit the cosmopolitan garden of the deep.
For a truly unique reef experience stay overnight on a specially built outer pontoon and watch the reef come alive under the stars.
Once you leave the water and enter the wild green, you realise the reef is only half the Whitsundays story.
Boasting numerous National Parks and World Heritage areas, a gentle stroll around the Whitsundays takes in spectacular scenery, rare flora and fauna, and the tropical landscapes holiday dreams are made of.
Take a quick walk before lunch or embark on a three-day trek - whatever your pace, you’ll find yourself invigorated by the sights, sounds and smells of a landscape that has remained pristine and unchanged for thousands of years.
