The Whitsunday Islands are a popular holiday destination packed full of adventure – they’re definitely taking first place at the top of everyone’s list of ‘top-travel destinations’.
However, if you’re also enjoying one of the incredible cruises that make a pitstop at Airlie Beach – it doesn’t get much better than that! Better yet, if you’re in the process of planning said cruise, let us help you out a little:
Our tips:
We recommend booking in advance and planning your trip itinerary to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the adventures this island paradise has to offer. Luckily, there’s endless options of sailing tours, cruises and worthwhile day trips available to book with a local tourism business to make your holiday planning a breeze.
Think overnight tours, private charters, sunset cruises and snorkelling activities, there’s something to suit everyone’s preference and travel budget.
Let’s talk cruises:
Surrounded by warm topaz waters, clear blue skies and home to some of the world’s most impressive marine life, it’s clear to see why the most popular option for experiencing this tropical paradise is via boat – though not all adventures can be found at sea!

Whether you’ve got a boat-centric holiday planned for the Whitsundays, or you’re considering booking a cruise at one of the many amazing boat tours on offer, there’s a chance you’ll be making a stop at the mainland’s main gateway – Airlie Beach (also known as total heaven).

Those looking to a wind-down and soak up the sun can do so at the Airlie Beach lagoon, whilst the adventurous and active can get their dose of nature on the Whitsunday Great Walk. Better yet…get the best of both worlds at Whitsunday Green!
