Whitsundays

This morning we drove down to the harbor from where our tour started to the Whitsunday Islands. Our crew then led us to our yellow speed boat, where we first stored our belongings and then each found a seat. Short safety briefing and off we went. Full speed ahead. There were strong waves, but since the guide said it was only a strength of 2 out of 5, we wondered what a 5 would be like?

Along the islands and the blue sea. The first stop was at a white beach surrounded by clear blue water. After a short hike through green rainforest, we arrived at the lookout platform with a breathtaking view over Whithaven Beach. Back on the boat, we took a short ride to a quieter bay where we could snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef. We saw so many fish and the coral reef. Then there was beach time, where we could relax on the white beach and let our souls dangle. On the way back, we understood what he meant at the beginning with a strength of 2 out of 5. This time he went all out and we flew over the waves, it was so much fun. Better than any rafting tour.
