Activities - There's plenty to do at Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays!
Airlie Beach is the gateway to the travel destination of the Whitsunday islands and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. There are over 74 tropical Whitsunday islands to choose from and over 100 trips leaving from the mainland each week! So why limit yourself to one Whitsunday island when you can visit them all while still enjoying luxurious mainland resort accommodation at an affordable price.
Visit any one of the nine island resorts from the mainland via helicopter, water taxi, seaplane or maxi-yacht or opt for one of the smaller eco-friendly cruises that visit only National Park islands. Shingley Beach Resort's free on-site booking office can offer advice and book tours for the whole family.
Whitsunday Yacht Charters
The Whitsundays is home to the largest bareboat yacht charter fleet in the South Pacific. Most of the Whitsunday yacht charter companies are based at Abel Point marina, a 10 minute walk from the Resort, providing Whitsunday yacht charters to the exquisite Whitsunday Islands.
Choose from luxury 60ft sailing yachts, motorised cruisers and explore the National Park islands, fringing reefs and deserted beaches at your leisure.
Costing $8 million, the Airlie Beach Lagoon is similar in size to Brisbane's Southbank (at nearly 3 ha). It is a perched saltwater lagoon - suitable for swimming all year round and best of all it's completely free to the public. Additional facilities include a children's playground and wading area, electric BBQ, picnic tables, sand beaches and extensive parklands overlooking the Coral Sea.
Action Adventures
Diving is the number one adventure activity in the Whitsundays and the Resort has its very own Whitsundays Reef Safari Dive Centre and dive pool on site. Log onto www.reefsafari.com for the latest information.
Other Whitsundays activities include skydiving, sea kayaking, parasailing, ocean rafting, croc-spotting, game fishing, helicopter and tiger moth joy flights, sunset cruises, reef sleeps and much more.
