Best time to visit the Whitsundays?

Note: The waters of tropical Queensland are home to marine stingers and jellyfish. The high risk season is from October to May. Most accredited Whitsunday tour operators offer protective ‘stinger suits’ to all customers at little or no cost.

However, if you do get stung do not rub the sting area instead apply vinegar immediately and seek medical attention urgently. Dial 000 for an ambulance.
