The year-round tropical climate is perfect for active families wanting to explore both above and below the water, and with a wide range of activities and accommodation, there’s something for everyone. Here are a few reasons to choose the Whitsundays for your next family holiday.
BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort Set across 26 acres of sub-tropical gardens in Airlie Beach is the award-winning BIG4 Adventure Whitsundays holiday park, with everything from unpowered campsites to powered caravan sites and luxury cabins. They have the largest resort pool in the area, a kids playground, tennis, mini golf, a jumping pillow, and a brand new water park. The water park has 13 slides of different heights and speeds which are geared towards kids (and adults) of all ages, together with water features for toddlers and a 30cm splash pool, coloured to reflect the kaleidoscope of corals in the Great Barrier Reef. There’s also an on-site Kids Club and outdoor movies screened during the school holidays. adventurewhitsunday.com.au
