25.01.2022 It's peak humpback whale season! The whales are all around & in between the islands right now! It's definitely, a delightful free experience to enjoy on your private & exclusive Whitsunday cruise when you visit during our beautiful region cooler months of the year. The Whitsundays is home to 74 lush tropical islands, amazing pristine beaches, and thousands of different marine animals in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef National Marine Park. Undoubtedly, the humpback wh...ale is one of the most extraordinary animals to navigate the warm waters of this region, and every year the Whitsundays is host to hundreds arriving from their annual migration from Antarctica. Whales are one of the oldest living animals on the planet, and the chance to witness their majesty in the wild is definitely a bucket list item for almost anybody you speak to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HaaOT51tVg

P.S The only corona here is served icy cold with a fresh slice of lemon or lime Cheers to you & your family.
