Reef Odyssey - Great Barrier Reef Cruise - Whitsunday Islands.        
Whitsunday Islands. Nestled in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays share the same climate as the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Tahiti. Nature has left a collection of islands, actually drowned mountains - rising from a turquoise sea.

The fringing coral reefs, tropical rainforests, pristine beaches and crystal clear waters, all unspoiled by man, make this one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.

Part of the world's largest National Park with World Heritage listing, the 75 Whitsunday Islands are primarily uninhabited.

However, if you pine for civilisation there is always one of the internationally renown island resorts such as Hayman and Hamilton Islands.

The warm aqua marine waters range between 20° and 25°C, so the fantastic snorkelling and diving opportunities which provide a glimpse into the magic of these Great Barrier Reef Islands, can be enjoyed all year round.

You will find your cabin to be spacious. The Whitsundays with its safe anchorages and coves, sheltered by the Great Barrier Reef, is one of the world's finest calm water cruising areas and will capture your heart and imagination.
