First Hand Experience & Local Knowledge
Kristie Kaighin – Founder
Kristie worked in the Melbourne corporate world in Project Management before seeing the light. A passion for travel and a change in lifestyle led her to focus on holidaying and then making the most of the information she gathered! She fell in love with Hamilton Island and decided to make the Whitsundays her new home.
Thus the beginning of Whitsunday Holidays. Kristie and her husband Leigh founded Whitsunday Holidays in 2003. Their reputation quickly grew – that of ‘committed to first class customer service’ and offering a ‘unique luxury product’ in the Whitsundays and in particular, Hamilton Island accommodation.
By 2020, the Charter side of the business was in high demand. Creating a sister website to showcase our most exclusive charter options felt the best way forward. Introducing Whitsunday Luxury Yacht Charters.
