Description

The Whitsunday Peak track is one of the Whitsundays' most challenging. Reaching an elevation of 437 metres, this steep track offers spectacular views over the Whitsunday islands and surrounding mainland. Access this track from the Sawmill Beach day-use area.

After an initial climb beside the creek bed, stone steps lead through dry vine forest before reaching lush green 'cloud forest' toward the peak's summit.

Despite its short length, this track is deceptive. Allow at least four hours to complete the return journey.
