Explore the World-Famous Whitsunday Islands
One of the biggest reasons to visit Airlie Beach is its incredible location.
Airlie Beach is a major departure point for tours exploring the spectacular Whitsunday Islands, Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef, making it easy to experience a different adventure every day.
Rather than staying on one island, basing yourself in Airlie Beach gives you the freedom to explore the Whitsundays by day while returning each evening to a wide selection of restaurants, entertainment, shops and accommodation.
Popular experiences include:
- Visiting the world-famous Whitehaven Beach
- Walking to the breathtaking Hill Inlet Lookout
- Snorkelling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef
- Sailing amongst the Whitsunday Islands
- Visiting Hamilton Island for the day
- Cruising through the islands at sunset
- Taking a scenic flight over Heart Reef and Whitehaven Beach
From relaxed sailing adventures and family-friendly day trips to high-speed boats and luxury cruises, there are experiences to suit almost every type of traveller.
