We Won Silver!
Airlie Adventure Tours Wins Silver at the 2026 Whitsundays Tourism Awards
We’re proud to share that Airlie Adventure Tours has won Silver in the Land Tours category at the 2026 Whitsundays Tourism Awards!
For our locally owned, family-operated business, this recognition means a great deal. It celebrates the work our team puts into every departure and the mainland experiences we love sharing with visitors to Airlie Beach.
Celebrating the Mainland Side of the Whitsundays
The Whitsundays is famous for its islands and reef, but there is so much to discover on land.
From watching kangaroos and wallabies on the beach at sunrise to searching for wild platypus at Eungella, our tours introduce guests to the wildlife, landscapes and communities beyond Airlie Beach.
Our experiences include the Whitsundays Mainland Explorer, Eungella Wild Platypus Encounter, Kangaroos & Wallabies on the Beach at Sunrise, Beautiful Bowen Beaches and Cape Gloucester Escape.
Each offers a different way to experience regional Queensland, with local guides sharing the stories and places that make these destinations special.
Go beyond the reef, beyond the islands, and explore the mainland.
A Proud Moment for Our Team
Behind every tour is a team making it happen: preparing vehicles, organising pickups, answering guest questions and welcoming people aboard.
This Silver award belongs to everyone who contributes to Airlie Adventure Tours. We’re grateful for the care, knowledge and personality our guides and support team bring to the business.
Whether they’re helping a guest spot their first wild platypus, sharing local history or making someone feel welcome on an early-morning departure, those everyday moments shape the experience our guests take home.
Thank You to Our Guests and Partners
To everyone who has travelled with us, left a review, recommended a tour or supported our business — thank you.
We also appreciate our accommodation partners, booking agents, tourism colleagues and the local businesses that welcome our guests. Sharing the mainland is a team effort, and those relationships are an important part of what we do.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists at the 2026 Whitsundays Tourism Awards. We’re proud to be part of a region with so many dedicated tourism operators.
Eco Certified and Proudly Local
