Advantages: Simply stunning, picture perfect

Disadvantages: You dont have enough time on the island

If you've ever wondered what its like to be in Paradise, then wonder no longer, Whitsunday Island is it!

The Whitsundays are a collection of Islands i cant remember how many, but its around 70, with the largest and most famous being called Whitsunday Island, hence the other islands being grouped under the same name.

There is only one way to get to the island which is obviosly by boat, but which boat you take is completely down to you and your personality. The choice is endless, there literally are hundereds of different options from organised groups to private boats, all offering different places to visit and different activities whilst on the boat.

I was with my girlfriend and we decided that we didnt want a boat full of young drunks, so opted for one called Waltzing Matilda, which was more for couples and didnt have options such as diving, this made it slightly cheaper, however we were not looking to go diving so this didnt matter.

The boat itself was quite small, held about 14people including crew and this was a squeeze, but the crew were great, they cooked for us and allowed us to join in with activities such as raising the mast(i forgot to say it was a sailing boat we went on) We also slept aboard the boat, some give you the option of mooring up at night and sleeping on the islands, we though that it would be more of an experience sleeping on a boat so chose this instead.

We visited lots of islands, but the best by far being the Whitsunday Island. I have never seen a beahc like it before in my life! The sand was so fine it felt like talcum powder as you walked and the sea was literally like the photo above, simply stunning. You could even clean jewellery with the sand. We spent about half a day here and there is so much to see and do its just not long enough, due to time constraints though you would be lucky to get a company allowing you to stay out for longer.

We also went snorkelling quite a bit on the outer parts of the great barrier reef, and moored up at lots of other islands to take a look around, but the highlight was definatly Whitsunday Island.

This is an absolutly stunning place to see, try and go when its not too busy though as i would imagin you wouldnt get the same experience if the beach was pakced full of people.

Summary: You have to see it to believe how perfect it is
