Without any doubt the best way to see Whitsundays is on board a fast yet highly comfortable speed boat or yacht.
If you are looking for something a little different and daring why not do a sky dive and tour the area on a jet ski.
We have many Whitsundays tours packages to choose from with many different ways to take a look at the area.
You can view the Whitsundays from the air by signing up to one of our sky diving packages.
You can travel the area by jet ski or even on board one of our boats including yachts, speed boats and catamarans.
While on any of the packages you will get the opportunity to do some snorkeling around the lovely coral filled bays taking in all the sea life that there is to see.
