Named after the Christian holiday taking place seven weeks after Easter, when Captain Cook first supposedly spotted the alluring archipelago in the late 1700s, the Whitsunday Islands offer some of the world's most beautiful beaches, dense tropical rainforests, and unparalleled scuba and snorkeling opportunities. The clear, protected turquoise waters teem with turtles, whales, and other underwater wonders. With 74 islands, each more picturesque than the last, you can't go wrong, but a great place to start is the picture-perfect white sands of Whitehaven Beach — considered by many to be Australia's best beach — or the exceptional corals surrounding the aptly named Heart Reef.
