Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Whitsunday Island proper is fascinating. Beautiful Beaches - especially the Saw Mill Beach (which has facilities), and a picnic area. No camping, no outdoor fires, no pets, but lovely to swim at, blue bottle jellies permitting. So far from civilization, really paradise. You'll feel like Robinson Crusoe! Saw Mill Beach is also the starting point for the Whitsunday Ngaro Sea Trail which climbs 2.5 KM to the peak of the Island and offers unbelievable views. If you're fit (really really fit), the hike to and from the peak (takes over 4 hours) is well worth it. VERY rugged, very steep trail (unpaved) which passes through stream beds that can fill during wet season. Stick to the trail as once past the starting point there is NO SIGNAGE. Take plenty of bottled water and wear hiking shoes (not flip flops). If you don't try the trail, the swimming at the beach is simply delightful.

Only on a day trip we managed three short walks. There are camp sites available but the easy walks and superb beaches make the National Park a must visit.

Worth the time, a must see. So glad we went. A guided tour is helpful. Water and snacks also are helpful.

We did a three day sailing trip and spent a bit of time on several of the Whitsunday Islands. On Whitsunday Island, we went straight to Whitehaven Beach while everyone else was up at the viewpoint. We had the place to ourselves for about 30 minutes before other people started coming down. This is one of the world's more beautiful places.

The islands are great for snorkelling and we saw much more here than the Great Barrier Reef! If you do a tour they’ll take you to the best spots. Overnight boat tours are worth it as you’ll see more but I would only recommend one night

I still can’t get over how stunning this place is - so glad we chose to come here instead of the Cairns part of the reef!

This is an island not so difficult to visit and should be in anyone's bucket list and not to be missed at any cost

Make sure you visite more islands than just whitsunday island. Take a boat tour and see all of it because the collection of islands is what it makes so pretty!
