​Lying right in the heart of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands or simply the Whitsundays is a collection of 74 magnificent islands floating like gems in the tropical waters of the Coral Sea. Named by Captain James Cook in 1770, Whitsundays is a submerged landscape--the continental islands are the tips of mountains laced with corals.

A hot year-round destination for tourists and locals alike, Whitsundays is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Australia and the largest group of offshore islands in the country. In fact, more than a million visitors flock to this tropical paradise each year. A great number of islands are national parks, leaving them uninhabited and in their purest natural state for everyone to appreciate. The aquamarine seaways surrounding these islands are also part of a marine park and fall within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage area, which starts from Cape York in the north to Bundaberg in the south.
 
There are tons of wonderful things to do and see around Whitsundays. For a holiday in paradise, sailing Whitsundays should be on top of your list. Feel free to explore this amazing biodiversity from the bow of a sailboat and cruise through the different islands. And because of its natural allure, no doubt that almost every beach-worshipping tourist dreams of soaking up the rays and reef from the yacht deck sailing the Whitsundays' turquoise waters. Fortunately, there are plenty of yacht companies and private charters who are all set to make this dream a reality.

Major Whitsundays attractions include access to coral reefs for diving and snorkeling, stunning beaches, and clear azure warm waters. Go for a quick snorkel to further discover many varieties of colorful fishes and beautiful corals. Doze off at night to the gentle crashing of the waves beneath a canopy of stars. Or just chill out at the nearest resort. Whitsundays covers a wide range of accommodation options scattered throughout the archipelago, from high-end resorts to budget-friendly hostels.

Whether you're in the mood for something relaxing, action-packed or guided, Whitsundays has something to offer to suit everyone's needs and preferences.
