Fantastic, our guide Sheree, knew everything you wanted to know and see around Arlie Beach snd surroundings areas. A lovely bubbly guide, who ensured we were comfortable throughout the tour. This is a must tour for when you arrive at Arlie Beach so you can plan the rest of your holiday. A+++++

We did our tour on our first day, now we know everything there is to do. Cherene is lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. We have photos we wouldn’t have had otherwise and would recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks Kelly. Happy you got to see more around Airlie.

What a lovely afternoon we had with Chereen, she was passionate about Airlie beach and took us to some fabulous places, highly recommend. We did this tour from our cruise ship and Chereen was happy to drop us back off at the cruise terminal, all very easy and relaxed

Thanks so much Julie. Was great fun to show you beautiful Airlie.

A fabulous tour with an independant operator - Driftwood Tours.
Run by Charene (sorry if it's misspelled).
She's absolutely passionate about what she does and the tour is great value.
Rather than just a walk up and down the main street, you get treated to a minivan tour up into the heights and extremes of the Airlie Beach area. We went from Cannonville in the West back to Shute Harbour in the East and had a stop off for beers at a gorgeous beach bar at the Northerlies.
Chareen is the most gregarious person you could wish to meet and very knowledgeable about the area as well as the wider Whitsundays.
I would heartily recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We had a fantastic three‑hour sightseeing and highlights tour around Airlie Beach, made truly memorable by our guide, Sherene. Her passion for the area was obvious from the start, and it was matched by a thoughtful, helpful and genuinely fun approach that made the whole experience relaxed and engaging. The tour was well paced, full of local insights, and included several real 'wow' moments that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Sherene went out of her way to make everyone feel included and comfortable, adding personal touches and great commentary along the way. A brilliant introduction to Airlie Beach — highly recommended.

Thanks so much Helen. So happy you really enjoyed this tour around the Airlie area.

Anyone who wants to see Airlie Beach with someone who knows all about Airlie Beach and more, definitely has to take this tour! It was absolutely amazing: great company, interesting sites, beautiful views and an extremely friendly, knowledgeable, passionate guide. This is an experience well worth taking!

Chèrene was awesome. So knowledgeable about the region and full of great tips for our next destinations. Was the perfect tour for our short stay in beautiful Airlie Beach.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks so much Julie.

What a great chance to pop around the local spots of Airlie Beach with our host who knows and loves the region - so much trivia shared, and laughs. A great afternoon to see points many of the locals may not even know about. We went on our first day arriving so it was great to get all the secrets so we could make the most of our 5 days in town. I would thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone coming to Airlie who has just a couple of hours or who wants to get out of the room and not necessarily spend time on the water :-)

Cherene is the ultimate tour guide. Running her own business (go girl!) you get the personal touch, off the track viewing points, information and insights. My hubby has arthritis, and Cherene couldn't have helped him more with getting on and off the bus, seat belt etc. Went to lovely local places we would never have known about, and ended up at a gorgeous pub on the water where we shared time, talks and a drink (own cost). She was well aware of our need to be back for our tender to go back to the cruise ship. Defo do this tour-great value and very informative.

If you want a behind the scenes tour with a knowledgeable local this your tour. We saw most of the highlights despite being a rain mixed day. We got to go to a very unique beach bar/ restaurant for a light snack and drinks with locals, it was great!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for accepting the tropical weather. Better than sitting in your room!! Glad you enjoyed the trip.

Cherene was a wonderful guide and made this trip really enjoyable. It was great to see Airlie Beach from a local perspective. You won’t regret booking this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Nice to see you enjoyed this tour and seeing more of Airlie.

This is an amazing tour! I almost cancelled because we were tired from traveling all morning but we are so happy we didn’t. There is so much more to Airlie Beach than just the main strip. Cherene’s passion for the area and life really came through as we travelled the surrounding areas and we saw some stunning lookout points. It really gave us a solid grasp of how to spend our time here in Airlie. Cherene gave us several restaurant recommendations and also other tour recommendations. It was like having a friend show you around their hometown telling you all the best places to go.
I would highly recommend this tour, you will not be sorry. Cherene is a true delight.
