Whitsunday Peak
Airlie Beach, Australia
Rising 434 meters, Whitsunday Peak offers intrepid hikers a two-and-a-half-hour trek through eucalyptus forests and ridgelines. At the summit, views stretch across Whitsunday Island and the azure waters of the Coral Sea. Early risers find cooler climbs and the sight of dawn breaking over the island—a photographer's dream.
