Had an amazing day on the Whitsunday Islands + Whitehaven Beach + Hill Inlet Day Tour + Flight with OceanRafting from Airlie Beach. Highly recommend it! The pick-up was on time, and we started the day with a scenic helicopter ride over the Great Barrier Reef. I especially loved when the pilot counted down as we approached the Heart Reef—it was breathtaking! After the flight, we were taken to the water cruise where the fun began with snorkeling. Wet suits, snorkels, fins, and either a noodle foam or life jacket were provided. The crew was so patient, especially with anyone who wasn’t comfortable in the water. We then enjoyed some thrilling rides between spots with pump-up music blasting—it really added to the excitement! After that, we did a short trek to Hill Inlet, offering stunning views of Whitehaven Beach from three platforms. The different shades of blue were incredible. I spent a bit too much time on the platform and didn’t get to take as many photos at Betty’s Beach, but the white sand and clear waters with fish swimming around were unforgettable! We had about an hour and a half to enjoy Whitehaven Beach—not as stunning as Betty’s Beach, but the white sands and beautiful surroundings made it perfect. All in all, such a fun and well-organized tour! #airliebeach #greatbarrierreef #Oceanrafting #Whitsundays #whitehaven #Heartreef #heliride #thrillride #Rubberboat #queensland #australia #beachlife

📍The Whitsundays (Whitehaven Beach), Queensland, Australia Today we went on a tour of The Whitsundays, located in Australia’s ‘Heart of the Great Barrier Reef’. What an absolutely breathtaking place - hands down, the BEST beaches I’ve ever seen in my life. First stop: a snorkel with all the fishes by the incredible coral reefs! Second stop: Whitehaven beach. The sand was like chalk, it was so white!! Third stop: Hill Inlet lookout to see the insane swirling sands - I honestly still can’t believe how beautiful this was. What an amazing day - Australia has totally shocked me with its beauty, so excited to see what else it’ll bring. #whitsundays #airliebeach #whitehaven #swirlingsands #australia #backpacking #travel #travellers #travelcouple #travelfoodie #wanderlust #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelgram #travelfoodie #travelaustraliaoutdoorslife

Welcome It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. It was a wonderful vacation. You should also visit it.#airliebeach #airliebeach

#australiatravel Airlie Beach in Queensland is the perfect gateway to the Whitsundays, but it’s so much more than just a stopover. The vibe here is pure relaxation, with palm trees swaying and turquoise waters everywhere. 🌴💦 The best part? The Airlie Beach Lagoon—a free entry swimming area right by the ocean, perfect for families or solo travelers like me looking to cool off. Strolling along the boardwalk was a highlight, offering stunning views of the Coral Sea. I also took a half-day tour to the Whitsunday Islands, which cost about $120 AUD—worth every penny for the views of Whitehaven Beach. Back in town, I explored boutique shops and enjoyed fresh seafood at local restaurants. Nearby, you can visit Conway National Park for lush rainforest hikes or take a day trip to Hamilton Island. Airlie Beach combines laid-back charm with access to iconic Aussie adventures. #AirlieBeach #Whitsundays #CoralSea #TropicalParadise #ExploreQueensland #TravelAustralia
