The Sundays Loves

At The Sundays, where the warm Australian hospitality of Hamilton Island meets the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, unforgettable experiences aren’t just possible—they’re inevitable. Whether you’re chasing bucket-list adventures or simply looking to unwind, we’ve curated our top picks of The Whitsundays for an unforgettable stay. Dive in or kick back—it’s your call. 

    Journey to the Heart

    Live your James Bond fantasy as you take to the skies on a breathtaking helicopter flight over Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, and world-famous Heart Reef. Touch down with just three others onto private Heart Island pontoon – or reserve it entirely for you. Snorkel and swim the turquoise lagoon, marvel at vibrant coral and sea life from a glass-bottomed boat or simply relax and embrace the magic of this iconic destination. 

    Whitehaven Seaplane Adventure

    With whiter-than-white sands, warm turquoise waters, and hidden trails leading to breathtaking views, it's little wonder that Whitehaven Beach has been named Best Beach in the World 2025. For the ultimate experience, soar above The Whitsundays by seaplane, touch down on the water, and wade through the shallows onto Whitehaven’s pristine shores. 

    Golf with a View

    Tee off at Hamilton Island Golf Club, where champion-grade greens meet Whitsunday blues. Designed by legendary golfer Peter Thomson, this 18-hole championship course is nestled on its very own island, surrounded by scenery so stunning it might just throw off your game.  After your round, unwind at The Clubhouse with a laid-back lunch showcasing fresh, local flavours and more of those spectacular views. 

    Cultural Island Discovery

    Step into the rich history and traditions of the Whitsundays with A Cultural Island Discovery, led by Ngaro man Robbie Congoo. Cruise aboard private vessel Pebble Beach to Hook Island, where you’ll immerse yourself in stunning natural landscapes, discover ancient rock art and unique flora and fauna, and dine on gourmet canapes and drinks featuring Australian native ingredients. 

    Set Sail on your own Private Yacht

    Charter a motor vessel, skippered and hosted by an expert crew and set out to explore the wonders of The Whitsundays in style. Cruise to secluded sandy coves or head to iconic Whitehaven Beach, where warm turquoise waters meet impeccably white sands. 

    Unwind at the Spa

    Retreat to Hamilton Island’s Spa wumurdaylin, a tranquil sanctuary where relaxation and rejuvenation come naturally. The spa menu celebrates Australian-made natural products, and is thoughtfully crafted to nurture wellness, restore balance, and enhance vitality.  

    Cruise Above, Discover Below

    Hop aboard a glass bottom semi-sub and see the reef from a whole new angle—without getting your toes wet. Drift past nearby islands like Dent, Henning and Plum Pudding, and keep an eye out for turtles, tropical fish, and migrating humpback whales during the winter months. With fascinating commentary, a chance for kids to take the helm, and wide-open windows to the underwater world, it’s the kind of outing everyone can enjoy.
