WHITSUNDAYS
Whitsundays
The Whitsundays is in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef on the Queensland coast, 150km north of Mackay and 200km south of Townsville, and ascends out of the rich blue tropical waters that lie in an archipelago of green islands and sandy atolls.
The romance of Heart Reef, the kaleidoscopic colours and shapes of the corals, the soft white sands of Whitehaven Beach and the crystal clear waters make the Whitsundays an attractive destination for all.
The Whitsundays emphasises relaxation and getting in touch with nature. Activities range from beach fishing to yachting to adventurous quad biking through the rainforest. The Whitsundays is a diverse destination position within the picturesque Great Barrier Reef region.
Tourism Whitsundays is the Regional Tourist Organisation (RTO), which is responsible for marketing the Whitsundays as tourism destination.
