• 5Our lovely tour guide...

  Our lovely tour guide Rowena made sure we had a great chilled experience. The Waterfall was not running at the time we visited, but the serene atmosphere and the turtle sightings made it still worthwhile. The lunch at the beautiful pub was delicious. Highly recommend.

  Cancelled due to low number of people. It was our last day in Airlie Beach. An hour and a half notice didn’t give us enough time to rebook something else.

  Very relaxing day, taking in Cedar Creek Falls and waterhole. Our guide Rowena is a local. Very friendly and knowledgeable . Lunch was an added bonus.

• 5Waterfall experience is a must do

  Was such a great day out. Waterfall might be cold but please get in it’s amazing and your body will love you for it. Lunch was really nice and the pub was a complete surprise and it’s in the middle of nowhere. Overall the tour operator was amazing and we had a fabulous day.

• 2Not worth the money

  We booked this trip, looking forward to a really informative day with an expert guide. Red Cat website advertises a Falls to Paradise trip, with morning tea, Eco Walk, swim in the falls followed by a beautiful lunch prepared by a local chef. We booked through trip adviser as got a better deal. Our day started with the bus trip to the falls with the guide talking to us and explaining the surroundings. We could not hear one word at all and did not realise she was wearing a mic until we reached the lunch stop. This is where we raised the issue. We were dropped at the falls, just left to get to get on with it, while the guide sat on a rock looking at her phone for the most part. There was a very brief explanation of our surroundings. Red Cat website advertised morning tea, we were offered a biscuit and that was it. I did hear her mention fruit when we got out of the van, but none of this was made available to anyone. Red Cat website also advertised an eco walk with an expert guide. That was also non existent. Lunch at the Northerlies was completely average, nothing special at all. Did not present as food expertly prepared by a local chef. Food choice was really poor, mainly deep fried and lacking in taste. I feel that this tour was completely mis sold and not as as advertised at all.

About Airlie Beach

Airlie Beach is a small seaside town on the Queensland coast and the mainland base for the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef.

The town sits on a sheltered bay of the Coral Sea in central Queensland, with a saltwater lagoon on the foreshore, a marina, and a main street of cafés and dive shops. Just offshore lie the Whitsunday Islands, a scatter of more than seventy forested islands set in calm turquoise water, and sailing boats of every size leave its harbours to cruise among them.
