Whitsunday Islands

Breathtaking aerial views of the archipelago's turquoise waters as the aircraft descends into PPP.

The right side is essential for coastal enthusiasts. Approximately 25 minutes into the flight, look for the unique geography of K'gari. During the descent into Proserpine, the aircraft often turns over the coast, providing a panoramic view of the Whitsunday Islands. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the ocean's turquoise hues.
