Overview

Images of Long Island Resort

Enjoy the magic of nature with 20 km of scenic walking tracks, explore the 2500 acres of national park and palm fringed beaches - ideal for all ages and fitness levels.

For those who enjoy the great outdoors or simply wish to enjoy the complete Long Island experience, you may wish to completely circumnavigate the Island by foot. You will endure 9 hours of walking/hiking/climbing but the memories will last forever.

As the sun sets behind the mountains of the Conway National Park, its last light shimmers across the water. A truly magical sight through the palm trees and the Resort surrounds. This also heralds the nightly flight of the fruit bats as they momentarily darken the sky at dusk silently flying across the expansive courtyard and off into the night. The outside world is forgotten as you are submersed in nature's wonders..

No Whitsunday getaway is complete without enjoying the Great Barrier Reef. Long Island boasts coral reef only 150 metres off shore. Snorkels, fins and other equipment are available, a sight not to be missed!

Long Island Resort boasts a comprehensive range of water sports, parasailing, jet skiing, catamaran sailing, glass bottom water bikes, water-skiing, scuba dive activities, fishing trips and Island cruises are all available.

Indulge in an island picnic utilizing the 20kms of bush tracks, our water sport team will even arrange for a picnic hamper to be waiting for you on your arrival at the secluded Sandy Bay.
