What are people saying about Airlie Beach

Sunset Sailing with mah love

My husband and I had such a wonderful time on our sunset sailing experience with Wings on 17/4/26. From the moment we stepped on board, the staff ( the lady i forgot her name, oops) and the owner (Mike) made us feel so welcome 🤍🥰 they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Watching the sunset out on the water was absolutely beautiful, and the whole experience felt relaxed, special, and truly memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the evening. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and enjoyable, we had an awesome time!

Outstanding tour and service

The skipper and first mate were incredible. They communicated changes, were super friendly, and ensured everyone was safe, happy, and fed. They kept things fluid based on the tides to ensure we had the best experience, and we got to see so much incredible sealife in healthy areas of the reef. I can’t recommend them enough. Especially if you want something with smaller groups and a more catered experience than the big tours.

Great glass bottom tour!

Wonderful experience, the pick up and drop of was an extra bonus, we saw amazing an abundance of beautiful coral, fish and the odd turtle popped his head up. The staff were friendly fun and very knowledgeable. Lovely way to experience Shute harbour and its stunning marine environment

What we wanted and more

Friendly staff, our trip had a smaller amount of people on board which made it easy to move around the deck. Relaxed in the sun on comfortable beanbags on the top deck. Food was amazing and plenty of it. The stop at Langford Island was spectacular, while snorkeling we saw so many colourful fish and coral. We were lucky enough to see a whale in the distance. I booked this tour after reading a review and it was everything they said it would be. If you are after a relaxing afternoon on the water, with breathtaking views this is the cruise for you.
