The Whitsundays
Nestled in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday islands share the same idyllic climate as the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Tahiti. Nature has left a collection of islands - actually what remains of submerged mountains - rising from a turquoise sea.
World Heritage listed, the Whitsundays form part of the world's largest National Park. Comprising some 74 islands the Whitsunday Group is primarily uninhabited. Barefoot Cruises ply the warm aquamarine waters that range between 20 and 25 deg. C allow year round snorkeling and diving. The Whitsundays with its safe anchorages and coves, sheltered by the Great Barrier Reef, is one of the world's finest cruising areas and will undoubtedly capture your heart and imagination. Lying in the tropics close to 20 deg south the Whitsundays has an enviable climate year round. The Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea protect the waters of the Whitsundays from the ocean seas with most islands being surrounded by a fringing reef system.
