The Whitsundays is a collection of 74 islands in the heart of Australia's beautiful Great Barrier Reef and are cradled by the calm waters of the Coral Sea.
The islands are the perfect holiday destination for those after a private and peaceful environment, well away from the hustle and bustle of city life - the fact that only eight of the 74 are inhabited gives you a clear idea of how secluded they are.
The eight inhabited islands are:
Dent Island
Hamilton Island
Hook Island
Long Island
Whitsunday Island
Lindeman Island
Daydream Island
South Molle Island
The Whitsunday Island is the largest and most popular island in the Whitsunday group of islands. Boasting magnificent pure-white sands on its Whitehaven Beach, a myriad of ways to enjoy the island awaits you in the form of bush walking, scuba diving or sailing.
Accommodation on the island includes a selection of fully self-contained apartments with stunning views, caravans and camping spots. A unique accommodation on the island is an overnight sailing charter on one of the famous Whitsunday Tall Ships.
The island is accessible by boat from the mainland tourist ports of Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour with plenty of great holiday packages available online.
