The heart-shaped Great Barrier Reef and the most beautiful white beaches must be seen in your life!
Departure
Come to Australia to see the heart-shaped Great Barrier Reef, the best place to start is not Cairns, but Airlie Beach!
Experience
Heart-shaped barrier reef is really small, but at the moment you look, you will feel great value! This is the perfect gift from nature!
In addition to watching the Great Barrier Reef, there is one of the world's longest white sand beaches in the waters around the Whitsunday Islands. The fine white sand on the shore is also good for the sand I have seen. From the sky, you can also see the flower-like underwater scenery. Especially shocking!
Hours
The current established airline company GSL Aviation, which combines the above-mentioned aircraft and cruise ships, provides the most essential route for travellers who want to experience the beauty of the Whitsunday Islands without much vacation. Get it all! The price is still the most cost-effective in several companies in the Whitsunday Islands! The itinerary is very compact, the barrier reef, the beach, snorkeling, sunset, perfect!
- Morning flight overlooking the heart-shaped Great Barrier Reef and White Paradise Beach
- Midday speedboat departs for white beaches (providing vertical paddle boards), lunch, afternoon snorkeling
- Finally, head to the national park Hike to the Hill Inlet viewing platform
- Return to Airlie Beach in the evening
We also watched the Australian fighters on the Hill Inlet viewing platform, so cool!
Season
The best season to come to the Holy Spirit Islands in Queensland, from June to October, in which July, August and September are due to the winter tides, the visibility of the sea is high, and the whales can be seen on the sea!

Helicopter Views, Boat Vibes, and Whitehaven Bliss!
Had an amazing day on the Whitsunday Islands + Whitehaven Beach + Hill Inlet Day Tour + Flight with OceanRafting from Airlie Beach. Highly recommend it! The pick-up was on time, and we started the day with a scenic helicopter ride over the Great Barrier Reef. I especially loved when the pilot counted down as we approached the Heart Reef—it was breathtaking!
After the flight, we were taken to the water cruise where the fun began with snorkeling. Wet suits, snorkels, fins, and either a noodle foam or life jacket were provided. The crew was so patient, especially with anyone who wasn’t comfortable in the water.
We then enjoyed some thrilling rides between spots with pump-up music blasting—it really added to the excitement! After that, we did a short trek to Hill Inlet, offering stunning views of Whitehaven Beach from three platforms. The different shades of blue were incredible. I spent a bit too much time on the platform and didn’t get to take as many photos at Betty’s Beach, but the white sand and clear waters with fish swimming around were unforgettable!
We had about an hour and a half to enjoy Whitehaven Beach—not as stunning as Betty’s Beach, but the white sands and beautiful surroundings made it perfect. All in all, such a fun and well-organized tour!

Whitesunday Beach & Blue Sky
A cruise to Whitesunday beach. Tendered a boat to famous Arlie beach.
Very cute small town full of North Queensland vibe. Very pleasant afternoon to do sun bathing on the pool by the beach.
Also the pool is the best place for family to spend a lovely afternoon there. They have pool area for kids.

In the Great Barrier Reef, in addition to the beautiful lagoon, overlooking the heart-shaped reef from the air, there are actually more games. Especially at night, in the quiet Whitsundays of the Whitsunday Islands, you may wish to take part in a night tour.
Follow the guide to the beach to dig your own oysters, with white wine on the spot to taste, and bring the taste of the sea. Then drive to the farm in the depths of the jungle, eat a teppanyaki meal cooked by the chef, and talk to the Chinese who have lived in Sydney for a long time. Satiate and lie down under the stars, and saw a meteor oh ~

# Whitsunday island
is the most beautiful island in my mind!
* Tips - The Whitsunday Islands must be off the Properpine (PPP) platform, then take the bus to aielie beach (Ayrlie), don't buy the wrong train ticket, Australian Railways The limited time ticket is not changed!
The beauty of the Whitsundays is indescribably textual, white-and-white white sand beaches, a holiday-filled Hamilton Island, quiet and comfortable Elli Beach, or a daydreaming island for dreaming Large and small islands, gathered into a unique Holy Spirit Islands, should not be missed.
To the Whitsunday Islands, don't look at the outer reef/heart-shaped reef, it is equal to not coming. It takes an hour to sit on the sightseeing machine and let you see enough. Before you leave, remember to book a sightseeing plane project. .
#Where to go to New Years Day

It is almost a must for every visitor to take a boat trip to the Great Barrier Reef. But often when I went out to sea, I was very excited, and when I came back for more than an hour, I basically slept on the boat. The offshore platform of Hamilton Island offers another way to take a helicopter back to the shore. The coral reefs off the coast of Hamilton Island are well preserved, and the most visible heart-shaped coral reefs on Australian postcards are here. This coral reef is completely free of any artificial factors and is naturally formed. No ships are allowed to approach the water, so I want to see it and I can only watch it from the sky. This is also one of the most romantic marriage proposals in the world, and it is said that the success rate of marriage proposal can be multiplied here.
In addition to the heart-shaped coral reef, you can also enjoy the magnificent view of one of the world's top ten beaches, White Paradise Beach, while flying over the Whitsunday Island.
