Long Island – a perfect place for a honeymoon
Long Island is one of the most beautiful of the tropical Whitsunday Islands. The Island is a national park with 20 kilometres of scenic walking tracks across the Island, leading to dense bush areas and beautiful secluded palm fringed beaches with clear turquoise water.
If you’ve been dreaming of a honeymoon on a tropical island, this is the perfect place. You can laze in a hammock under the palm trees, and enjoy golden sandy beaches with gentle waves lapping at the shore, while surrounding you there are 2,500 acres of tropical rainforest to explore.
Long Island Resort is ideal for a special romantic getaway and caters for couples so that they will have many happy memories of their stay.
There are countless activities to enjoy. You can relax under the palm trees on the beach or spend the day water-skiing, parasailing, island hopping, cruising, playing tennis, snorkelling or taking a helicopter ride. There are also jet skiing, catamaran sailing, glass bottom water bikes, and fishing trips available. The wide range of activities on offer will ensure your romantic getaway is full of fun and relaxation.
No Whitsunday holiday is complete without visiting the Great Barrier Reef, and Long Island has a coral reef only 150 metres off shore. The resort has snorkels, fins and other equipment available so that you can enjoy exploring the reef.
As the day ends you can witness a spectacular sunset from the beach, looking towards the mainland and the mountains of Conway National Park. This is when you might see the nightly flight of the fruit bats as they briefly darken the sky at dusk and silently fly off into the night. Small wallabies also come out of the hills on to the beach at dusk.
The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. You can start the evening dining together in either the Palms Restaurant or Cafe Paradise, then sit back with a cool drink and enjoy the evening entertainment. The entertainment can include karaoke, musical acts, games night, casino night or beach party night. When the evening's entertainment is over, you don't have to go to bed because the resort's disco continues through the night.
A special five-night honeymoon package is available called Long Island Love at the Long Island Resort. This is a great value package with an upgraded room, all meals, and a scenic joy flight included plus many other extras, for a surprisingly low price.
