Whitsunday Islands and the surrounding waters are part of the protected Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. Only eight of the 74 islands are inhabited, leaving the rest to pure nature. The area is known for its crystal clear waters, brilliant white sand beaches, spectacular coral reefs and majestic bush land. These prehistoric islands were well respected by the indigenous Ngaro people whose traces can still be explored.

The cruise on DescaradA takes in some of the most beautiful areas of the Whitsundays, such as the pure white silica sands of Whitehaven Beach, majestic landscape and aboriginal sites of Nara Inlet and spectacular snorkelling waters of Manta Ray Bay and Blue Pearl Bay. While basking in the stunning sceneries you are treated to wonderful service and a fine culinary experience by the DescaradA crew.

To the A-team (Ken, Adrian and Donald). The Whitsundays is an amazing experience but you guys made it even more special. The activities, food and scenery all exceptional, not to mention the great locations every night. The boat is superb, with so many places to chill out and the rooms of very good quality. The daily activities were great, from some amazing snorkelling to local trips with some great local knowledge. An amazing crew that work so well together and a wonderful trip.’
