What people love about Airlie Beach Tours
The trip was great. However, I didn’t like the hostel in Airlie Beach. It was the worst one in this trip. Overall was great
Really good trip with value for your money. We saw a lot of Australia in such a short time, given how massive Australia really is. Our guide, Tamar, was an absolute sweetheart, knowledgeable, well travelled and very professional. This tour has the right balance of group activities and independent activities if you choose to do so. My only complaint is that some of the accommodations were subpar, which was disappointing given the high cost of this trip.
Had such a great time on the 3 week tour and Hannah was the best tour guide we could ask for! She was so knowledgeable and always so keen to help (and would go and research the answers to any weird questions she didn’t know the answers to). She even made the weather hold out for us for most of the tour! ;)

Airlie Beach Tours & Holidays
Airlie Beach is a tropical tourist town that knows how to have a good time.
Located in the heart of the Whitsundays , Airlie Beach is a fantastic launching pad for exploring the Great Barrier Reef . With a laid-back vibe, lovely locals and lively bars and restaurants, it might even turn out to be a highlight of your East Coast adventure . Whether you fancy relaxing by the lawn-fringed lagoon, meandering around the many cafes and boutiques, or dining on local seafood, there's loads to see and do. Do as much or as little as you like — you're on tropical time here.
Our Airlie Beach trips
Let's create an exclusive trip for your group.
Airlie Beach highlights
Airlie beach travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.
Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).
However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
Getting around Airlie Beach
If you don't have far to go it's easy to walk around Airlie Beach as the town is compact and almost completely flat. If you'd like to travel further afield, local bus services are provided by Whitsunday Transit and run until around 10pm most days. You can also catch a taxi, or rent a hire car or bicycle.
When's the best time to visit Airlie Beach
Airlie Beach has a tropical climate, so any time of year is a good time to visit. That being said, August to October is considered to be a particularly good period as the weather is dry. June to October also offers whale watching opportunities, when humpbacks migrate to the warm Whitsunday waters to birth their young.
If you're visiting Airlie Beach between October and May, it's advisable to wear a stinger suit when swimming in the ocean to protect yourself from possible jellyfish stings.
What should I pack for Airlie Beach?
Airlie Beach is a laid-back destination so you can leave your fancy clothes at home. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are a must, even in winter, as the sun reflects off the sparkling Coral Sea. There's a supermarket in the heart of town which is handy in case you forget to pack any essentials.
What should I wear at Airlie Beach?
There's no need to get dressed up, even if you're staying at one of the resorts at Airlie Beach. Casual clothes or active wear are fine during the day. Smart casual is the usual dress code at restaurants.
What is the internet access like at Airlie Beach?
Airlie Beach is on the mainland so there's good mobile data and wi-fi coverage in town and the surrounding areas.
Can I use my mobile phone at Airlie Beach?
Airlie Beach is on the mainland so there's good mobile coverage. Just note that you may be cut off or have patchy reception if you head out on a sailing trip on the open water.
How do I get to Airlie Beach?
Our East Coast adventures start in Sydney or Brisbane. Whitsunday Coast Airport in Proserpine is the closest airport to Airlie Beach. If you fly into Whitsunday Coast Airport, you'll need to drive or take a transfer to Airlie Beach. This is easy to arrange as buses meet all incoming flights. The drive from Whitsunday Coast Airport to Airlie Beach takes around 25 minutes.
Can I swim at Airlie Beach?
You can swim in certain areas at Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays — but only if you follow local advice and observe warning signs for jellyfish. One of the most popular swimming spots is the Airlie Beach Lagoon on the oceanfront as it's filled with chlorinated saltwater and is patrolled by lifeguards.
Are Intrepid trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?
We are committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations.
We are always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
