点评:The Whitsundays National Park covers a vast area, made up of 74 islands, pristine beaches, coral reefs, and open seas.
We recently hired a Sunsail 42ft Leopard catamaran and spent a week exploring. It’s an absolutely brilliant thing to do and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Not surprisingly, there were many, many highlights. Two of the best were overnighting off Whitehaven Beach and at Cateran Bay.
Whitehaven is a uniquely beautiful, sprawling white sand beach with stunning turquoise blue water. It’s no surprise that it’s listed as #1 spot in the Whitsundays. Before leaving we sailed around to Tongue Bay and climbed Hill Inlet for a jaw-dropping view back down over Whitehaven.
Cateran Bay lies off the less well known, Border Island.
A small, deserted island, we had it entirely to ourselves at times. The bay is enclosed by steep, mountainous hills which make it feel very secluded and, unlike Whitehaven, the commercial boats don’t tend to come here. It was as close as we’re ever likely to come to the fantasy of owning a private island.
It was incredibly peaceful and almost eerily quiet during the night.
During the day, we spent time snorkelling and climbing the walking trail to the top ridge where we had outstanding views across to other island peaks.
翻译:圣灵群岛国家公园面积广阔,由 74 个岛屿、原始海滩、珊瑚礁和公海组成。
我们最近租了一艘 Sunsail 42 英尺 Leopard 双体船并花了一周的时间进行探索。这绝对是一件很棒的事情,我强烈推荐它。
毫不奇怪,有很多很多亮点。其中最好的两个人在怀特黑文海滩和卡特兰湾过夜。
怀特黑文 (Whitehaven) 是一片美丽独特、广阔的白色沙滩,拥有令人惊叹的碧蓝海水。毫不奇怪,它被列为圣灵群岛第一名。离开之前,我们航行到舌头湾,爬上希尔湾,欣赏怀特黑文令人惊叹的景色。
卡特兰湾位于鲜为人知的边境岛附近。
这是一个荒无人烟的小岛,有时我们完全拥有它。海湾被陡峭的山丘包围,让人感觉非常僻静,与怀特黑文不同,商业船只通常不会来到这里。这是我们最接近拥有一座私人岛屿的幻想。
夜晚异常安静,几乎出奇的安静。
白天,我们花时间浮潜并爬上山顶山脊的步行道,在那里我们可以欣赏到其他岛屿山峰的壮丽景色。
