Situated 690 kilometres south of Cairns International Airport is the amazing Whitsunday Islands Yours to explore by way of Maxi - Yacht, Ketch, Catamaran or Tallship. Either Dive, Snorkel or just laze around on a guided adventure through special places that seem like you were the first to be there.

A haven for fish life, turtles, reef and dolphins enjoy a single day or a 3 day / two night adventure on a boat for all budgets and sizes. One of our favourite places as it mixes the cultures of Sailing, Diving, Snorkelling and some pretty serious Resort Islands

The Whitsunday Islands are located just 20 minutes off the little thriving town of Airlie Beach. Get there before it gets an International Airport ! Special places of mention are Whitehaven Beach with its pure white Silicon Sand, Stingray Bay which just is a photographers delight and Hook Island. Explore idyllic worlds where no cruise ship can visit while enjoying this unique experience at your own pace.

The magic of the region will have you spellbound ~ pristine beaches, lush rainforest, dazzling azure waterways, the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park ~ in fact there are many other reasons why the Whitsundays is known as the greatest aquatic playground on Earth

There are more than 3000 Reefs on the Continental Shelf so scuba diving and snorkelling are in a class of there own. At sea , island fringing reef and platform reef display amazing coral diversity while on land , exploring the flora and fauna amids lush National Parks can be enjoyed by everyone.

Scubadive.com.au has developed relationships with all the vessels of this region and have put together a small collection for your consideration. There are over 60 guided vessels in the region and 5 beautiful Islands offering amazing accommodation. Visit the Whitsunday Tours pages for a taste of a few.

Whitsundays is known for its beautiful green water. Great for snorkelling and for those who would like to sample diving, both certified and introductory. Sailing vessels are not the best for diving with difficult entry and exit points. Some boats have modifications to cater for this, others meet specialised dive boats that are waiting for you out in the Islands. Coral does like deep, cold water so be aware that this is a compromise with most of your channels only reaching depths around 8 to 10 metres. Currents also affect visability so talk to us about what you expect from your sailing trip.

There are many types and styles of Sailing Boats to offer. Maxi Yachts, Catamarans, spectacular Tall Ships and motor boats. Maxi Yachts have a very busy top deck with very few places to sunbake, but are the adrenaline specticals of the area. A good ketch offers a very good all round option with small numbers and an exciting sailing experience. Have a look at our whitsunday boat page which scratches the surface of whats on offer
