Our Picks of What to do in
Scenic Flight
Of course being a scenic flight operator in the Whitsundays we have to promote ourselves…Haha…
Take on our Whitsunday Island & Great Barrier Reef Scenic Flight to start your adventure in the Whitsundays is always the best choice, fly over the majestic Whitsundays islands including Long Island, Hayman Island, Whitehaven Beach and the sandy bays of Hill Inlet. We provide photo opportunities like no other.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and truly special experience. Soar above the beautiful blue and aqua waters of the reef and enjoy the breathtaking views below. Highlights include Hardy Reef, Hook Reef, and the iconic Heart Reef.
The best thing about a scenic flight is you can look around the beautiful area of the Whitsundays first and then decide on where you would like to revisit on your feet. And we have some of our best picks down below.
Airlie Beach Lagoon
The Airlie Beach Lagoon is situated right in the centre of Airlie Beach right at the oceanfront, surrounded by grassy sunbathing spots, playgrounds and BBQ areas. If you want to spend a relaxing day with no admission fee “spend a day at the Lagoon”. It is a popular hangout spot for locals and visitors alike. It is built on a raised breakwater, giving an excellent view out to the Coral Sea and Whitsunday Islands.
Why swim at a pool while there’s the beautiful ocean next to it you asked? Stinger season in the Whitsundays runs during the warmer months of the Australian year, from late October until May. The warm tropical waters of the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef provide the ideal environment for marine stingers during stinger season, including a variety of harmful jellyfish species. The Lagoon provides an environment that is completely safe from stingers and marine wildlife, all year round and is open to the public every day with lifeguards patrolling all year long.
Whitsunday Day Tour
Going out there on the water is one of the best ways to explore around the Whitsunday area. The Whitsunday Islands are part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and have plenty of coral-filled bays with an abundance of marine wildlife including tropical fish, turtles plus whales and manta rays in season.
Our pick for going out to the Whitsundays is with ZigZag Whitsundays, their boat tours departs daily and visit more locations than any other Whitehaven Beach Tours from Airlie Beach. And you will get to Whitehaven Beach and the Southern Lookout, do some snorkeling on the coral reefs and visit Chalkies Beach and the Haslewood Lookout, Definitly worth to check it out!!
And we do offer a package deal with ZigZag, combining the best of both worlds, explore from above and then explore around on your feet.
