Local Legends & Stories

The Whitsunday Islands are steeped in Aboriginal heritage, with the Ngaro people having called these waters home for thousands of years. The name 'Whitsunday' is said to have been given by Captain Cook in 1770, who named them after the day of Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday.
