Whilst the nearby Great Barrier Reef offers some of the best diving opportunities, snorkelling is perhaps best enjoyed in the more sheltered waters of the Whitsunday Islands and Mantaray Bay is arguably the best snorkelling location in the Whitsunday Islands.
Whitehaven beach is comprised of 98% pure white silica sand which surely makes it one of the top ten beaches, of it's kind, in the world. The shallow waters of Whitehaven Beach are crystal clear, full of marine life and make for an ideal swimming location. It's not unusual to spot turtles, mantarays, dolphins and giant fish.
Beachside you are bound to happen across a goanna as you indulge in our Gourmet B.B.Q.lunch. If there is a must-visit beach in Australia... it has to be Whitehaven. If you plan to visit Australia include the Whitsunday Islands in your itinerary
Hill Inlet offers magnificent views across Whitehaven Beach and Whitsunday Island. Take the short walk to Hill Inlet's Scenic lookout and experience a combination of shifting sands and small deepwater channels that go inland for miles.
If you are lucky you may spot turtles, baby sharks, sea eagles and spotted stingrays... be sure to take your camera.
