The Whitsundays region is regarded as one of the great pleasure sailing grounds in the world offering a range of Whitsunday sailing holidays as liveaboard 3 day cruises or 5 day cruises... The Whitsunday islands are picture-postcard perfect, many with dense green pine forests rising steeply from granite cliffs affording excellent deep water anchorage for a Whitsunday sailing holiday or liveaboard 3 day cruises.

Secluded beaches with dazzling, chalk-white coral sands beckon invitingly, and the warm, Tiffany blue water - the "Whitsundays trademark," seen at its best at Whitehaven Beach – is mesmerising.

Aside from glorious diving and snorkelling, whale watching is a special Whitsunday pleasure. Courting, fluking (slapping their massive tails on the water with a resounding ‘crack’) and breaching (the most spectacular element of whale behaviour) are all seen often from the decks of liveaboard boats while enjoying 3 day cruises or 5 day cruises.

The Whitsundays boast a diverse range of tropical island resorts and hotels as well as the coastal resort village of Airlie Beach. Relax, swim and enjoy the breathtaking ocean views or take advantage of the myriad of day boating trips and air tours the Whitsundays has to offer in the sea and in the air... See Whitsunday day trips. The sheltered warm waters of the Whitsundays make boating of all kinds irresistible, sail yourself around the calm waters of the Whitsundays or choose one of the 3 day cruises and be pampered.
