Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SETUP

A complete camp kit, ready for self‑setup

The Island Getaway Package supplies a 4‑metre bell tent plus air mattresses, luxury white linen, lanterns, cooking gear and basic insect control so you arrive with everything needed for a comfortable island night.

THE SITES

Fifteen campsites across six islands

Choose from 15 distinct campsites spread over six Whitsunday Islands; each booking places you on a different island campsite so no two getaways need be the same.

THE COMFORT

Camp in style without losing creature comforts

From a queen inflatable mattress and electric pump to bedlinen, towels, an esky and fairy lights, the package is designed to let you unwind in nature with many hotel‑style conveniences provided.

What the day feels like

What the weekend (or longer) feels like

Plan for a self‑sufficient island stay: arrange your boat transfer, receive your glamping package at the departure vessel or a drop‑off at your accommodation, land at your chosen campsite and erect the 4m bell tent using the supplied instructions and tools—setup is straightforward and designed for one person to complete in roughly ten minutes.

Suitability

2

3
FamiliesFamilies can book a suitable campsite, but should note the package is a self‑setup hire and must bring sufficient food, drinks and ice for their stay.
