Sailing the Whitsunday Islands of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland Australia

Boarding the Derwent Hunter, we went sailing along the Whitsunday Islands of the Great Barrier Reef located in Queensland, Australia.

It's a beautiful day here in the Whitsunday Islands. Today we are going to be doing a full day cruise and maybe a little bit of snorkeling. Join us for the adventure. We're going to show you around this national park.

Our journey began by raising the sails as passengers on board helped out.

After sailing for a while we had the chance to enjoy some beach time with an opportunity to go snorkeling.

The warm turquoise waters were inviting as we splashed around while writing in the sand.

We couldn't help but marvel at the amazing scenery.

Our journey included time ashore at Langford Reef and Bali Hai where we had a chance to learn about the incredible biodiversity.

Relaxing on the boat we looked out at the scenery, read our kindles and munched on delicious chocolate cake.

We then visited a second island where we spent time walking along the beach, taking photos and drawing our names in the sand.

It was certainly a day we'll never forget.

This is part of our Travel in Australia series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Australian culture, Australian arts, Australian foods, Australian religion and Australian people.
