This is an amazing trip. Host had a wealth of knowledge that she was happy to share with us. We recommend that you complete this tour early on, so you can revisit some of the places as your “things to do” . At the end of the trip we had a wonderful experience of feeding wild birds. These trips are a must do for all visitors.

What an excellent tour ! I did the Airlie Beach explorer tour and was blown away with how many great, land based spots there are around Airlie ! Cherene was a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide - she really knows her stuff ! This is a great tour to do on your first day as it shows you all the local spots. The bus is super comfortable with great air con. A fantastic way to do something different around the Whitsundays! 10/10 😁
