Queensland's Most Beautiful Island: Whitehaven Beach

Whitehaven Beach is Australia's most beautiful island beach and also the most worth visiting hidden gem of the Whitsunday Islands! ►Transportation Options: One is GSL Aviation's speedboat, and the other is Air Whitsunday's seaplane. Compared to the latter, the former is more economical and provides snorkeling equipment for underwater activities ►Itinerary: - Whitehaven Beach - Snorkeling in nearby waters (the captain will choose the most suitable snorkeling spot based on the actual weather conditions) - Hill Inlet Lookout ►Overall Experience 1. Beach ▪ Captain Dave is a standard Australian blonde hunk, especially amiable, always with a smile on his face. According to the crew, he drives the boat during the day and insists on going to the gym after work, no wonder he's in such good shape! ▪ Australia has the most beaches in the world. If you visit one each day, it would take 30 years to see them all! Whitehaven Beach has over 70 islands, and we will be visiting the main island, where the water is so clear that it rivals the purity of Ko Olina Beach on Oahu Island, Hawaii! ▪ The Silic Sand here is super fine, so fine that it can be used to exfoliate the skin! However, it is prohibited to take the sand away, so everyone should follow the rules! ▪ GSL also offers Stand-up Paddle Boards. If you've never tried it, no worries, you can stand, kneel, or lie down on it. 2. Snorkeling ▪ After enjoying lunch, the captain took us to a nearby area for snorkeling. The snorkeling spot is not fixed each day, as the captain will decide where it is safe to snorkel based on the day's tide. ▪ If you can't participate in snorkeling due to physical reasons or other inconveniences, I recommend a great spot: the speedboat's rooftop! It's the best place to enjoy the sun and the beach atmosphere, remember to apply enough sunscreen and bring a towel! 3. Lookout ▪ The last stop is the Hill Inlet Lookout, where you will need to walk a short distance through the jungle after landing. ▪ From here, you can get a close-up view of the 'marbling' seen from the air in the morning! This can only be seen when the tide is low, and the mix of blue sea and white sand creates a different picture every day, marveling at the wonders of nature! ▪ Returning from the lookout, it's around 4 pm, a day full of rich and fulfilling experiences! ►Tips: You can see whales in the waters of the Whitsunday Islands during the months of July, August, and September. This period is winter in Australia, when the ocean currents slow down, so the visibility of the water is high, making June to October the best travel season.
