Whitsunday Islands

After a day of driving down the coast, we stopped at Airlie Beach to do a day tour of the Whitsunday Islands. It was absolutely beatiful. We had a perfect day. We first boated out towards the islands for about an hour. We then stopped in at a cove to do some snorkling. It was amazing. The visibility was the best I have ever had. We saw loads of fish, including a giant fish that I think was the size of my honda. The coral was great too. We had over an hour here which was fantastic. After we cruised and had lunch and then went to a place called Whitehaven beach, Hill Inlet. We got dropped off on a beach and had to hike up to the top of a lookout. The picture is of us at the lookout. The view was awesome. The colours in the water were just like the pictures we had seen. We then got about 2 hours to lounge on the beach. It was great, however the only downside was that we had to wear lycra suits in the water to protect us from stingers (jelly fish). It was a bit of a pain getting into the skin tight outfits to go for a swim, and we did not look to stylish but we were protected from sun and stingers! After this stop we cruised back to the mainland. Great day!
