The Whitsundays - Experiences - The Aquatic Playground

Water, water everywhere!

Get under it, on it, in it or above it! Base yourself at mainland Airlie Beach to enjoy year-round swimming, sandy beaches and swaying palms at Airlie’s Lagoon. From here island hop, whale watch, fish, or take a day trip to a reef pontoon to snorkel or learn to dive. Reefsleep at Fantasea Reefworld pontoon, moored on Hardy Reef is a one-of-a-kind experience offering just six guests the chance to spend a night under the stars enjoying the solitude and tranquillity of the Great Barrier Reef.

Even if you’re not keen on getting wet, the reef is within easy reach on a semi-submersible or glass bottom boat tour.
The islands promise beaches equipped with kayaks, jet skis and water toys as well as deserted sandy stretches where the only footprints you’ll see are your own.
Feel the salty sea breeze at the helm of a luxury yacht or cruiser as you beach-comb from island to island or join a crewed vessel for a few days of guided exploration.
