Whitsundays
Your first stop is the beautiful Airlie Beach—with long strips of soft white sand, crystal clear water and relaxed lifestyle.

Check out these go-to destinations while you’re in Airlie Beach:

  • See Heart Reef by helicopter or sea plane

Proserpine

Fishing at Proserpine
If you’re a keen fisherman, Proserpine, also known as barramundi country, is a must! A 30 minute drive inland from Proserpine will bring you to Peter Faust Dam, famous for water sports and fishing. To find the best fishing spots for large game, we recommend hiring a private fishing tour and charter.
Fishing not your thing? The Proserpine River Eco Tour will take you through the Goorganga Wetlands where you can experience traditional Aussie bushman food and search for wild crocodiles from the safety of a boat.
Enjoy these sites and activities while in Proserpine:

  • Trek, swim & be amazed at the beautiful Cedar Creek Falls
  • Sip away at the Whitsunday Gold Coffee Plantation
  • Learn about the history of Proserpine at the Proserpine Historical Museum

Bowen

Bowen Mango
For your next location, take a peaceful 45 minute drive up the Bruce Highway to Bowen. There is something for everyone in serene Bowen—from walking trails, gorgeous beaches, to visiting the various historical sites, including the Bowen Museum.
While you’re in town, you must visit The Big Mango and taste their succulent, mouth-watering fruit.
