Known for its immense artificial lagoon, Airlie Beach also offers great access to the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding nature.

Airlie Beach is a tourist destination, extremely popular with backpackers. Its beach is small and the sea is inhabited by marine stingers, the box jellyfish from November to May. In order to provide somewhere for the visitors tourists to swim, the local council, has built a small – medium-sized swimming lagoon on the foreshore, similar to the lagoon found in Cairns. The Airlie Beach Lagoon is 4,300 m2 and 4.5 million liters of fresh, self chlorinated water. The Great Barrier Reef is easily accessible from Airlie Beach, with an array of different types of tours available.

Our trip was awesome as far as route and hotels are concerned. I loved your website because it enabled me to pick a perfect route, get distances, hotel options connected automatically to Tripadvisor reviews etc. Your staff was friendly and helpful, the hotels had our information and were all that was promised. I will use your site again for sure. The hotel prices were awesome.

What a great website you have! Your tech people are amazing. Before we went on our trip I recommended the site to several people for it’s ease of use. Now that we have actually done the traveling that we booked through your site, I can even more highly recommend the site. The travel was perfect and easy. We were mostly satisfied with the hotels and price was much less than we would have paid separately.
