Red-hot Whitsundays tips from our local staff
“The Whitsundays are all about the islands! Recommend booking a day trip to Whitehaven Beach for its pristine beauty or a Great Barrier Reef tour for snorkeling and diving. Suggest looking into combo packages that include scenic flights for breathtaking views of Heart Reef. Popular tours fill up fast, so encourage you to secure bookings early, especially during peak seasons.” – Karis, Branch Manager Whitsunday Coast Airport
“Airlie Beach is the gateway to the Whitsundays. Customers can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere at Airlie Beach Lagoon, a free and family-friendly swimming spot. Recommend exploring local markets (on Saturdays) for unique souvenirs and fresh produce. For nightlife, highlight the great mix of laid-back bars and restaurants offering fresh seafood and tropical cocktails.” – Wade, QLD Regional Operations Manager
The Whitsundays have a tropical climate, so remind customers to pack reef-safe sunscreen, hats, and breathable clothing. If travelling during the wet season (November to April), suggest flexible plans to account for occasional rain or stinger season (jellyfish nets are available for safe swimming). Recommend a good pair of water shoes for reef walking or island hikes. – Jamayla-Lee, Customer Service Agent, Whitsunday Coast Airport
