Long Island, as its name suggests is a small oblong shaped island, very close to the mainland in the
Whitsundays,
Queensland Australia.
All 1215 hectares of Long Island is national park with over 13 kilometres of graded walking tracks which stretch across rugged terrain, through dense bush and rainforest, and towards little, hidden beaches - Long Island is a bushwalkers delight.
There are three resorts on Long Island with a wide selection of accommodation ranging from budget, to beach front rooms; or for the very exclusive, the ultimate luxury of a secluded resort at the South end of the Island. Safe anchorages also make Long Island an attractive location for yachties.
It is possible to get to the Island by flying direct to
Hamilton Island and then taking a water taxi or ferry (about a 20 minute ride away). It can also be reached by flying to
Proserpine airport, taking a coach to
Shute Harbour and then a taxi or ferry (also about 20 minutes ride away). Direct Seaplane flights to Long Island, are available from the mainland.
