Ports of Call

Whitsunday, Australia

The Whitsunday Coast and Islands are a very special part of Australia. Centrally located on the Queensland Coast, it is right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, about 193 miles north of Mackay and 186 miles south of Townsville. The calm, sheltered waters of the Whitsundays make it an ideal place for scenic cruising.

Water Lovers' Paradise

These islands have some campsites and a few resorts, but the majority of them remain largely undeveloped. Go on a bushwalk, whale watch or enjoy some of the best snorkeling around.
