If diving is your passion, then this is your paradise. The Great Barrier Reef is a divers Mecca, and the Whitsundays has companies catering for every skill level from student to novice to dive master. If snorkelling is more your style, then the warm shallow waters of the Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsundays provide some of the most colourful fish and coral formations anywhere in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

The Whitsundays is recently being recognised as having some of the best fishing in Queensland. Charter Vessels operating out of Shute Harbour, Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island offer a variety of trips to the rich waters of the outer Great Barrier Reef chasing, tuna, mackerel and coral trout, or tagging and releasing sailfish and the legendary Black Marlin.

The Whitsundays also offers the only opportunity to spend a night in a hotel room right on the Great Barrier Reef!

You can get there with ultra fast, ultramodern catamarans, boats, seaplanes and helicopters which depart daily from both the islands and the coast. The Whitsunday Region is the ideal hub from which to explore this aquatic wonderland.
