Whitsunday Islands Tours & Holidays

The Whitsundays are your one-stop-shop for fun in the sun

Welcome to the Whitsundays, an archipelago of 74 tropical islands off the coast of Queensland. As a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays tick all the boxes for a sun-kissed adventure. Jump aboard a sailing boat to explore remote islands where lush rainforests give way to crystalline waters. Slip on a snorkel and flippers to explore colorful coral gardens and get close to inquisitive sea critters. Or marvel at the beauty of the world-famous Whitehaven Beach — with 98% pure silica sand, this is about as white as a beach can get.

Brisbane to Cairns Adventure

Belinda · Traveled September 2024
I have just had the most magical 8 days doing the Brisbane to Cairns trip. We had Taimi and Rach as our guides. They were incredible. Their passion, kindness and extensive knowledge made this so enjoyable. The accomodation was beautiful, the experiences were magical and our group had such an incredible bond. My only regret is stopping at Cairns and not doing the remaining 5 days up to the Daintree. On our free day in Airlie Beach I did the scenic flight of the Whitsundays. That is a must! Thanks for an unforgettable trip.

North Queensland Adventure

Alexis · Traveled September 2024
Can Not recommend this trip. For most of the trip we had a very poor tour guide that didn’t know much about the tour, didn’t communicate well with his clients and was not good at driving a small bus around.

Sydney to Cairns Adventure

Laura · Traveled August 2024
I would highly recommended the Sydney to Cairns Adventure that Intrepid Tours offers especially if you are a person who likes to learn about history and nature. We visited several coastal beaches. For example, they coordinated kayaking in Byron Bay, whale watching in Hervey Bay, snorkeling via Ocean Rafting in the Great Barrier Reef. On three different occasions we learned about Aboriginal history from the Eora Nation in Sydney, the Gumbaynggirr at Red Rock in Coffs Harbour, and lastly Mungalla Station about the Nywaigi people. On top of all this, there were several hiking opportunities to see firsthand the beauty and diversity of Australia. Lastly a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world as well as having a great tour guide named, Taimi.

A brilliant trip that shows you lots of places on the East coast. Taimi was an excellent tour guide and shared her knowledge of the country throughout the trip. Activities are suited to all abilities - a good mix of sightseeing, walking and sporting. There are long drives to get to each location and not many meals included. Would definitely recommend this trip.
