Whitehaven Lookout

Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday

Whitehaven lookout has some stunning views once you make it to the top. The track is roughly 2kms long with lots of stairs. Track is very clearly marked, so you can't get lost. Once at the top you get views all the way to hill inlet and beyond, on the opposite side of the island you can see Chance bay and beyond. One other note is its the only place on the island that has full reception.

Once you get close to the top their is a fork in the track, but this is just where it turns into a loop and you can go either way to get to the top.

Great walk! Not hard at all, definitely lots of stairs but not super steep. Took us roughly 30min to get to the top. I would recommend camping at Whitehaven beach to get the most out of this view, seeing it at sunset is worth it. As all the boats and cruises leave by 4pm.
