Whitsunday Islands was a stop for our cruise ship. In my search for
things to do in this area I was faced with either of two problems:
- The cost of (ship) excursions were sky high.
- There was not enough time (visiting the Great Barrier Reef, for example).
So I chose a relatively inexpensive sailboat ride lasting a couple of hours.
Here are some photos of our stay in the Whitsundays:

Entering the tender. (Tender is a boat to take you
from the ship to the dock when the ship can not go to the dock.) |
