Oh Boy...what a day!!!!! could write a whole blog on the Whitsundays...
There's no limit to the wonder of the Whitsundays, lying in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in the warm water of the Coral Sea.
74 tropical islands all together, a true paradise where you can expect the unexpected and feel the freedom we're all searching at, whether it's about relaxation, action or adventure...you got it all in one place.
Most of the islands are deserted islands, but 8 of them have holiday resorts with coral reefs and the Great Barrier Reef at their doorstep...some of them Hamilton Island, the one and only one Hayman Island, Daydream Island...what a name !!!!!, Long Island etc.....
We sailed away from Abel Point Harbour at Airlie Beach with Ocean Rafting's "Thunderstorm" to Hook Island's Maureen's Cove rafting with high speed on the big waves...awesome!!!! arrivin at Maureen's Cove we get things organised , put a stingersuit ,masks and paddles and off we go for our first snorkel in the coral reef...what can I say, hard to find words to describe this feeling....45 minutes in a big aquarium.
We move on to Mantaray Bay for another snorkel....this is paradise or very close to it.
Time for another waverafting experience to the Hill inlet of Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, where we get off the boat for a bushwalk to a lookout point over the inlet...no comment....and around the corner I find heaven , Whitehaven Beach, sand as white and pure never seen it before....
I'm confused by it's beauty and it doesn't take very long before I start daydreaming...what a lovely spot and even better we had lunch on that virgin sand....Our most friendly guides Brooke and Tim have most difficulties to get everybody back on board to sail back to Abel Point ...
This was as Aussies would say an awesome day!!!! some time left to dream on....
