The best way to experience the Whitsundays is through an overnight sailing trip. The Whitsundays are home to 74 tropical islands, so with so much to explore you will want to spend as much time there as possible! From spending time on Whitehaven Beach to snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, this is going to be one of the best trips in Australia. Every trip comes with snorkelling gear, meals, and accommodation. On top of that, you can decide between one, two, or three nights to spend onboard. Trust us, you will want to spend as much time as possible here!
A great way to see the Whitsundays is also from the sky! You can take a 60-minute scenic flight, departing from Airlie Beach, which flies over the Whitsunday Islands and the famous Heart Reef. A scenic flight provides an aerial view of the breathtaking swirling sands of Whitehaven Beach. The best part is you are always guaranteed a window seat!

Rev up your engines for a jet skiing adventure in Airlie Beach – it’s a thrill-seeker’s dream come true! This tour is your ticket to up-close views of the stunning Whitsunday Islands. Feel the wind in your hair as you ride the waves, explore Airlie’s beautiful bays, and keep your eyes peeled for some rad marine life along the way. It’s jet ski paradise for everyone!
For overnight boat trips, it’s smart to book a few weeks ahead. They’re super popular and often fill up 2-6 weeks in advance. But for day trips, we recommend up to a week in advance.
A day trip to the Whitsundays is fantastic for all, with a fast speed boat whisking you through the islands to Whitehaven Beach and superb snorkel spots. However, as thousands embark on this daily, opting for an overnight trip offers a more special experience. Meeting fellow backpackers and sleeping aboard a boat amidst stunning islands is unique. Waking up at 7 a.m. at Whitehaven Beach, a top-rated global beach, is a major perk of the overnight adventure.
When choosing an overnight Whitsunday boat, you’ll find three main categories: Party, Adventure, and Relaxed. It’s important to pick the one that suits you best. If you need help deciding which boats match your preferences, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.
The best time to visit Airlie Beach is generally during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is sunny and rainfall is minimal. However, keep in mind that this is also the peak tourist season, so accommodations and tours may be more expensive, crowded and book out further in advance.
Airlie Beach is accessible by both air and road. The nearest airport is the Whitsunday Coast Airport (Proserpine Airport), which is approximately a 30-minute drive from Airlie Beach. Alternatively, you can drive to Airlie Beach from major cities like Brisbane or Cairns along the Bruce Highway.
