Airlie Beach Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It is amazing and stunning view. Worth to experience.. I will recommend people to take this if you want to see the stunning view of great Barrier reef

An unforgettable scenic flight over the Whitsundays! The views of the Great Barrier Reef, Heart Reef and Whitehaven Beach were absolutely breathtaking. The flight was smooth, the staff were friendly and professional, and everything was well organised. One hour was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the incredible scenery from above. Definitely a must-do experience in the Whitsundays!

An amazing Ocean Rafting experience! The crew were friendly, professional and full of energy. The boat ride was exciting, the scenery around the Whitsundays was absolutely beautiful, and the whole day was very well organised. I especially loved the snorkelling and visiting Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

Overall a great experience! The guides Izzy, Amber and Sam were great along with the driver Cain. Amber and Sam led us to the Hill Inlet lookout which was amazing and helped with taking pictures. Only recommendation would be additional vegetation options or cooked shrimp for the buffet.

Great experience! The guides Izzy, Amber, and Cain made the trip so much fun and enjoyable. The beach was incredible. Highly recommend! One improvement could be more vegetarian options for lunch.

It was beautiful. We were well looked after, staff were lovely and helpful. Whole experience on the boat and off was fantastic Highly recommend

The driver was patiently waiting for us right there and helped us with luggages. Will rebook the next time

Great holiday spot. Warm weather. Nice cafes and pubs. Good range of day trips to choose from.

Had an amazing time! Great customer service and fast jet skis! Ireland was our tour guide and was so much fun! Water was beautiful. Highly recommend

These guys were the best team I’ve could’ve ever went with for jet ski skiing in Airlie Beach. They were fabulous. They were kind considerate knew everything about safety aspects of jet skiing especially for a learner like myself. The jet skis were in perfect condition. They were so very patient and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience thanks guys. I’ll give you guys 10 out 10 ..5 stars a great thank you so much for the experience. My family lived it

We arrived at the Coral Reef Marina, to be greeted by the Zigzag crew right away! They were Very organised and ticked everyone off for a prompt departure. The ride was lovely, we were offered morning tea and afternoon tea and a delicious lunch. We were split into two groups for snorkelling. We were afternoon group so spent the morning on Whitehaven beach. We were offered to take a walk to a lookout nearby however chose to relax on the beach and absorb and admire its beauty. There were some fun water games available for us by ZigZag and they also took high quality photos (by choice) which I absolutely loved and later posted to Facebook. We then headed back to the boat for a delicious lunch with a variety of choices including pasta and asian noodles and meats with a bun/salads. We then got into our wetsuits and headed out to snorkel. I saw a turtle and it made my day. I felt extremely safe and someone was always around incase a member was in trouble in the water. We came back to the boat after an hour (which went by so fast because of how fun it was) and were offered afternoon tea on our way back. Thank you ZigZag for the best day out! The crew were lovely , helpful, caring, genuine and funny people! Definitely recommend

Had a lovely day out, despite the warning for 1.5-2mtr swell the ride was still quite smooth so dont let the big swell deter you. Our guides Chris & Georgie were great, kept the vibes up all day and were just lovely people. The price is up there but you do get the whole day out with lunch & afternoon snack included so worth it. We had a full boat the day we went but it wasn't over crowded. My daughters 9 & 14 had a ball and were amazed at how beautiful everything is. Highly recommend 👌🏻

An amazing all inclusive trip! Well worth the money, this is a must and I would highly recommend it!

Brilliant. Crew outstanding. Well oiled and slick operation on all counts. Went with the family on a day with less than ideal weather conditions. But that didn’t stop us having a bucket filling experience, on the big purple boat! Generous, fun, relaxing. Do yourself a favour - book, go and enjoy.

Best experience of my life! Kirk was the best because he really put my mind at ease :)

Our family has never been on Segway's. Zak was a fantastic teacher and guide. He provided loads of interesting info through the rainforest and took lots of video's and photos along the way. It was a fantastic MUST do trip on a windy day where a water activity is a little blowy. The rainforest was the perfect place to be.
