What you'll do

Start your Whitsunday Islands eco-certified camping adventure by meeting your boat transfer at your local marina. Here, you'll receive all the camping gear necessary for a comfortable stay, including cooking equipment. If you're in the mood for some water activities, feel free to request a kayak rental.

If you're coming from a resort island or if you simply don't want the stress of shopping for supplies, don't worry! We can arrange for food and drinks delivery. You can either choose from a pre-set menu or pick your own items to be delivered straight to your departure point. Upon arrival to your island, you'll be dropped off at your campsite along with your rented camping gear and requested food.

If you prefer a quiet, off-the-beaten-path beach with cultural interest:  If you've chosen to camp on Hook Island, get ready for a serene experience away from the crowds. This peaceful Whitsunday Island is home to the Ngaro Cultural Site, where you can take a short hike up to a viewing platform at the cave's entrance. The cave walls are adorned with ancient Ngaro artwork—a sight you wouldn't want to miss. Spend your days exploring the water, which is home to some of the best coral in the Whitsundays. 

If you prefer to camp on the world-famous Whitehaven Beach: If Whitehaven beach on Whitsunday Island is your choice of camping, prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience. This world-renowned beach offers stunning views, white silica sand, and calm turquoise waters. The campsite, located at the southern end of the beach, offers both beachside and backwoods camping spots. Spend your day exploring the southern lookout and Chance Bay, or take a long stroll to the northern end of the beach. Remember, if you want to reach the Hill Inlet lookout, you'll need a kayak to cross the inlet.
