Our Team's Top Picks for Airlie Beach

Short on time, or just can't choose? Here's what our team suggests first, whatever kind of trip you're planning.
Sailing Trips: Skip the crowded ferries and let the wind move you between islands. Overnight sailing trips mean sleeping on the water, and many are designed for solo travellers who want to meet other people. Sunset sails are a shorter taste of the same thing.
Multi-Day Tours: Two or three nights on a boat give you time that day trips can't, with more snorkel stops, quieter anchorages and a proper sense of the Whitsundays. Some departures are aimed at the 18-35 age group, so check the tour details before booking.
Scenic Flights: Some views only make sense from above. A flight over the reef and the swirling sands of the islands shows you the scale of the area, and it's easy to fit in around other plans.
Skydiving: Tandem jumps here come with an ocean and island backdrop instead of farmland. You're clipped to an instructor, so no experience is needed. Just bring your nerve.
Jet Skiing: Speed across the bay on your own machine on a guided ride. It's a quick hit of adrenaline, and works well as a one-hour add-on to a free afternoon.
Kayaking: Slow things down with a paddle tour along the coast. Calm water and a close-up view of marine life make this a good choice if you prefer peaceful over thrilling.
Wildlife & Nature: Turtles, tropical fish and coral are the headline acts here, along with birdlife on the islands. Choose a small-group or eco-focused tour if you'd like a quieter, more responsible experience.
