No trip to Australia is complete without seeing the beauty of the Whitsundays. The Whitsundays are made up of 74 islands that are nestled in the Great Barrier Reef. The Whitsundays provide the perfect opportunity to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef and to island hop all around the famous spots.
The most famous spot on the Whitsundays is Whitehaven Beach, which is voted the number one beach in Australia. You’ll soon realise why when you see Whitehaven Beach for the first time. The sand is made of 98% silica which makes it the purest white sand. If you head to Hill Inlet Lookout then you can witness the beauty of Whitehaven Beach from above.

From sailing amongst the Whitsunday Islands to snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, there is so much to explore in the Whitsundays. Here is a list of all our top recommendations of everything to do whilst you are in the Whitsundays.
The best way to see the Whitsundays is through an overnight sailing trip! You will spend your days snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, visiting Hill Inlet Lookout and relaxing on Whitehaven Beach. Then in the evening you can enjoy a few beers with your new friends whilst watching the sunset. This trip is the perfect opportunity to meet fellow backpackers who are travelling along the East Coast of Australia. Set sail in paradise!
If you love to party, then you need to book an overnight party boat on the Whitsundays. During the day, you will still visit all the famous spots like Whitehaven Beach and snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. When the evening comes, it is time to enjoy plenty of beers with your new friends that you have made. There will be plenty of drinking games and karaoke to make it a night to remember.
An epic way to see the Whitsundays is from above with a scenic flight. Admire the Heart Reef with its heart shaped structure and take in panoramic views of the 74 tropical islands. It’s a thrilling adventure offering a unique glimpse of the Whitsundays from high above.
If you don’t have much time, a day trip exploring the Whitsundays is a perfect alternative. You will spend the day exploring Whitehaven Beach, where you can snorkel straight off the beach to see the sting rays and walk along the pure white sand. You will also stop off at Hill Inlet Lookout where you can take in Whitehaven Beach from above.
Day trips can be fun and perfect if you are on a tight schedule. However, an overnight trip is what most backpackers traveling along the East Coast of Australia will pick. Overnight trips include all your food, activities, and accommodation, so are great value for money. Since the Whitsundays is a collection of 74 islands you need more than a day to see as much as you can; part of the adventure is to stay on the boat overnight and to be the first group to see Whitehaven Beach in the morning.
We recommend booking your overnight Whitsundays trip about one month in advance. This is because these trips fill up quickly due to their popularity. During peak season some boats, in the Whitsundays area can get fully booked up to two months in advance.Â
The overnight Whitsunday boats typically fall into three different categories.
The first type is the party boats! There’s usually up to 60 passengers on board and are all about having fun with a few drinks.
The second type is the adventure boats. There’s usually 20 to 30 passengers on board and are all about seeing the most of the Whitsundays.
The last type is the chilled boats! There’s usually 8 to 12 passengers on board and are for couples looking to relax on the Whitsundays.
Most Whitsunday boats will allow you to bring your own alcohol onboard. So be sure to pack some drinks for your adventure! There are usually some rules like no glass bottles or red wine, but your Whitsundays provider will let you know when you book your trip.
Accommodation varies. Some offer bunk-style beds in shared cabins, while others have private cabins or sleeping on deck under the stars.
