Airlie Beach Markets
I like to think of it as more than just shopping. To me, it’s something that I seek out where-ever I go! I love to just wander around, talk to stall-holders, browse and soak up the atmosphere. There are many things sold here – clothing, jewellery, artwork, produce, etc.
The market is held every Saturday 7am till 1pm, and sometimes on other days if there is a cruise ship in port. […]
The Bicentennial Walkway
3 km of waterfront paths and boardwalks weaving their way from the Whitsunday Sailing Club, passing the Airlie Lagoon parkland, Coral Sea Resort, Abel Point Marina, Shingley Beach and finishing at Cannonvale’s esplanade. Plenty of places to stop, rest, enjoy the view and take some photos. Half-way point, Abel Point Marina, is a good place to stop for a cold drink or a beer, there is a little club there. […]
Day Trip To Whitehaven Beach
Departing from Abel Point Marina, we set out with the first stop being some snorkelling off the north eastern point of Hook Island. Non-snorkellers were also looked after, there was a glass bottom boat so no-one missed out on seeing the wonderful marine life and corals here. […]

Knuckle Reef Cruise
Well a trip to the Whitsundays is not a holiday unless you do some snorkling, diving, coral viewing and plenty of eating & drinking.
And what better way than to book a day trip out to Knuckle Reef….a pontoon in the outter reef that has it all!!
Even if you have never snorkled before….the team there look after you and with the guide and plenty of float stuff….all you need to do is to look down and enjoy the coral and colourful reef fish :o) […]
Anaconda III
The Anaconda III is a 101 foot mega yacht and one of the biggest vessels cruising the Whitsundays. It can carry up to 32 passengers. All cabins on board are air conditioned and each has its own ensuite with hot showers. It has a large air conditioned dining room and saloon area with a modern flat screened TV. The spacious decks give you plenty of room to move around or for sunbaking. […]
Hook Island Resort
When you think of a Whitsunday Island holiday you automatically think ‘big dollars’. It can be quite an expensive venture. But Hook Island is a little different from other resorts. Here everything is much more laid back and natural. No luxury accomodation, no spas and nightclubs…just raw beauty and tranquility. It is the perfect place to really get away from it all […]
Camel Riding
Looking for something a bit different?…take a stroll down to the beach and check out the camels.
There are five of them. They all seemed well mannered and quiet. I especially loved the colourful gear they were ‘dressed’ in.
Looked like something straight out of Arabia! […]
Hire A Bareboat
Bareboat charters are popular in the Whitsundays. Various companies hire out boats for those who are looking for a bit of adventure and something a little different.
You can have a choice of either a yacht, catamaran or motor boat. They come in all shapes and sizes from standard yachts to luxury motor cruisers. There are various companies that offer this service including Whitsunday Rent a Yacht and Queensland Yacht Charters. […]
