Watersports

Explore the Whitsundays at your own pace

Leave the engine off and discover a different side of the Whitsundays — gliding silently through sheltered coves, landing on secluded beaches and getting up close to marine life that only paddle power can reach.

Hire a kayak or stand up paddleboard through the Charter Centre and it will be delivered to your vessel at Coral Sea Marina before departure. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned paddler, it's one of the best ways to experience these islands.

Watersports on the Whitsundays

Why paddle the Whitsundays?

Uncharted beaches and bays

Some of the Whitsundays' most beautiful spots can only be reached by paddle. Land on untouched shores, explore hidden inlets and discover secluded bays that the bigger boats can't access.

Wildlife encounters

Paddling silently lets you get far closer to wildlife than a motorised tender ever could. Stingrays, turtles, colourful reef fish and sea eagles are all regular companions on a Whitsundays paddle.

Your own pace, your own route

There's no schedule when you're paddling. Spend an hour exploring a mangrove inlet, drift along a reef edge or simply float in the shallows — the Whitsundays are yours to discover at whatever pace suits you.
