The Christmas tree coloured coral of the Great Barrier Reef is just a stones’ throw from mainland Whitsundays, whether you rest your head in Bowen, Airlie Beach, or Proserpine -- locals can sometimes forget about that full, holiday experience at our doorstep.
With the gift-giving season coming to its head in two weeks’ time, maybe the perfect yuletide present has been staring the Whitsundays’ residents in the face all along.
One of the region’s biggest tourism operators is offering the “gift of experience” this Christmas with its full suite of premium tours.
Cruise Whitsundays is highlighting how locals can keep the holiday vibe rolling in the New Year by heading out into their own backyard. Take on the Camira Sailing Adventure, indulge with their Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet day trips, explore with Cruise Whitsundays’ Great Barrier Reef Adventure, or their biggest and best: Reefsleep or Reefsuites.
Is a cruise to Whitehaven your style? Cruise Whitsundays have you covered: the jewel of the Whitsunday Islands is yours to experience in either their half-day cruise, or chill and grill (with a gourmet burger on the beach to boot), or aboard Camira.
Their iconic 85-foot purple catamaran harnesses the wind as it sails the azure waters of the Whitsundays on its way to the unforgettable Whitehaven.
But if you’re more inclined for something entirely unique, then the tourism giant has another raft of incredible experiences up its sleeve: Reefsleep and a Great Barrier Reef Adventure.
The two-day and one-night encounter with the Great Barrier Reef that is Reefsleep is an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sleep under the stars and above the ocean.
At Hardy Reef, the permanently moored pontoon of Reefworld - located 39 nautical miles from shore – is one of the world’s most incredible experiences. Snorkel, swim, dive and explore an incredible natural ecosystem that recently garnered Zac Efron’s tick of approval.
Or head on the perfect escape to one of the seven natural wonders of the world for an adventure and see the Great Barrier Reef – the choice is yours. Cruise Whitsundays will take you there.
