Travelling to the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, Australia is a tropical paradise where one can enjoy the white sand beaches or seek an adventure on an excursion out to the Great Barrier Reef. A Whitsundays holiday has something for everyone, being located literally in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef with its picturesque landscapes and towns on the tropical beaches with world-class cuisine in abundance.

Referred to as one of the top beaches in the world, Whitehaven Beach is home to clear aquamarine waters and white sand across seven kilometres of the Island, where the tide creatively articulates the sand and water creating a natural wonder creating an ever changing tapestry of white sand and blue water painted by celestial hands. The Great Barrier Reef is nearby and can be enjoyed from above from an aerial view in a sea plane or helicopter, a boat trip out to the reef is a fun trip and this opens an opportunity to snorkel or scuba dive in the 7th wonder of the world.

There are unlimited activities in the Whitsundays such as island hopping, plane rides, sailing, catamaran, Jet Ski, fishing and everything else under the sun. The only problem with all of these activities is trying to fit them all into a holiday with so much to do in such a short time.

So much to do, but where to relax? The Long Island Resort is a great place to relax in a peaceful natural setting on the beach surrounded by a lush green setting with the refreshing scent of the ocean air. Whether it’s swinging in a hammock tied between two palm trees or catching some tropical sun while lying on a lounge chair anchored on the edge of the tide or even a massage in the resort spa there are plenty of relaxing activities to do.
