The best way to see the iconic Whitsunday Islands is on a sailing trip departing from Airlie Beach. Our boat of choice was the humble Eureka II. We were 13 passengers on a converted racing sail boat on a 3 day tour of the area. Our skipper, Mel, has been in the area for over 20 years and had great knowledge of the best places to check out.
Over the three day trip we saw dolphins, whales (spotted by yours truly over my morning coffee on the bow of the boat) tons of fish and some spectacular coral! The wildlife was just the cherry on top of a couple of days of beautiful weather and some of the most spectacular beaches and scenery in the world. I have to say this sailing trip was the perfect way to relax and unwind from a stressful exam period.

This was at a stop called 'The Fish Bowl'.

Whitehaven Beach.
The sand is mostly silica, giving it its white colour and making it cooler to walk on.
Whitehaven beach is 7km long and is located on Whitsunday Island.
We had a beautiful morning to play around in the water and lay in the sun.
Whales!
We were privy to a real sailing experience, happy I packed some Gravol!
Don't be alarmed, we were anchored.
