Midweek Blues look a little bit different in #TheWhitsundays... 🐠🌊💙 While this part of the world is admittedly beautiful all year round, there are perks to visiting this tropical #paradise in the winter months ❄️ ☀️ While we still get warm weather with days full of #sunshine, temperatures are much cooler than the summer months, with balmy nights and comfortable days 🐳 #WhaleSeason officially takes place over the winter months, as humpbacks migrate to the sheltered waters of the Whitsundays to have their calves 🌪 Not only does winter in the Whitsundays mark the end of wet season, but it also means the end of the thunderous cyclone season. Expect calmer winds and clearer skies at this time of year! 🪼 No more stingers! While boat operators will still offer wetsuits and stinger suits for your peace of mind, and they can be present year-round, the likelihood drops to next to nothing as stingers typically come with hot summer waters 🤿 Better water visibility in the winter months means it's the perfect time of year to go #scuba diving or #snorkelling! 😍 Winter in the Whitsundays is a slightly quieter season, which means there are always excellent deals up for grabs - as well as better chances of availability on even the most popular tours So, what are you waiting for?

Have you been lucky enough to visit South #Whitehaven Beach? 🌴☀️🌺 The powdery white beach is a vision of #paradise. But, since fewer boat tours go to this end of the beach, it's a quieter, more tranquil experience for those who do get to visit 😌 That means you can take all the dreamy holiday pictures you want without risking getting #photobombed 📸 Plus, along the beach, you'll find two beautiful bush walks through the lush island rainforest, a camping site, and a secluded lookout point 🌊🏖 DM us to learn more about the tours that can whisk you out to this #dreamdestination 😍
The warm, turquoise waters 🌊 The white, swirling sand 🏝 The lush, tropical scenery 🌿 There's a reason why #WhitehavenBeach is considered one of the most beautiful #beaches in the world! Found on #WhitsundayIsland, Whitehaven Beach is famous for it's 7km-long stretch of 98% pure #silicasand and the crystal clear Coral Sea that surrounds it ☀️ The beauty of silica sand - besides its dazzling appearance - is that it does not retain any heat. So even on the most scorching hot day, you can walk across Whitehaven Beach without burning your feet! 🦶🔥 Fun fact! Silica sand is great for polishing your jewellery too, which makes Whitehaven one of the few beaches it is good to take your rings to 💍
Which month is the best to visit #TheWhitsundays? 🌊🏝 ❄️ Most consider Australia's #winter months the best time to travel in the Whitsundays because of the comfortable warm weather, the excellent #sailing conditions, the end of #stingerseason, the beginning of #whaleseason, and the 'shoulder season' prices ⛵️ ☀️ However, the #summer months are still the busiest time of year in the Whitsundays due to #holidays and school breaks. If you're coming from December to February, make sure to book your tours and accommodation well in advance! 🥵 🍁 Autumn in the Whitsundays is ideal for those hoping to avoid the summer heatwaves, with temperatures and humidity slowly starting to drop. However, popular holidays like Easter, Anzac Day, and Mother's Day can draw big crowds! 📸 🌸 Meanwhile, spring is a dreamy time in the Whitsundays, with clear waters, comfortable temperatures, and fewer tourists. If you plan on coming in spring, try to get in before whale season ends in October - it's a phenomenon you won't want to miss! 🐳 So, to answer your question, there really is no bad time to visit the Whitsundays! If you prefer cooler temperatures and you're hoping to have the best sailing conditions and whale-watching opportunities, visit in winter! ⛄️ ⚓️ Or if you want pleasant weather that isn't too hot or too cold, and you want to escape the crowds of peak travel season, spring and autumn are great too 🌼 🐠 You can visit the Whitsundays year-round and have an amazing time!
Here are five facts you probably didn’t know about the #GreatBarrierReef 🐡 1. There are over 1625 different types of fish in the Great Barrier Reef 🐠 From clownfish and angelfish to reef sharks and whale sharks! 🦈 2. The Great Barrier Reef wasn’t always #underwater 💦 Over 40,000 years ago, the Reef was a flat, land-based ecosystem. Melting glaciers and shifting plates are to blame for submerging the world wonder 🧊 🌊 3. There are over 30 species of #dolphins and #whales in the Great Barrier Reef! Keep your eyes peeled for the bottlenose dolphin 🐬 and the humpback whale 🐋 4. Prehistoric creatures still live in the Reef 🐟 Some of the coral - and even some of the creatures - could date back millions of years! 🦴 5. The Great Barrier Reef is the perfect place to visit during #Australia ‘s winter months ❄️ Not only do the slightly cooler temperatures make for a more comfortable visit, but stinger season comes to an end, so you can explore the Reef without fear of being stung 🪼
