Why have your Team Day in Airlie Beach?

A picture-postcard location. Stunning reefs. White sandy beaches. Tropical rainforests. And remote islands.

Need we say more?

What Airlie Beach lacks in size, it more than makes up for in both relaxation and excitement, so you can choose your own adventure. 

Take your Team Day to a lush resort to nurture your team-building skills in the day spas and swim-up bars, rest and relax on the beach, or bond over drinks at the town’s popular nightspots.

Venturing beyond the beach, you’ll find the quaint villages, resort towns and 74 incredible islands of the Whitsundays. 

Hamilton Island is only one hour away by ferry, and from here you can explore the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach, Daydream Island and the other attractions of the Whitsundays. Back on the mainland, you’ll find plenty of attractions within a short drive of Airlie Beach, like the remote escape of Hydeaway Bay. 

Top Tips and Ideas 

You can’t come all the way to Airlie Beach without getting off the beach… and into a boat! The Team Days Boat Cruise is a popular choice for teams looking to celebrate with a day out on the open ocean. Whether it’s in a kayak, catamaran, speed boat or a private luxury yacht, you can enjoy a half-day cruise or a full-day sailing experience, all arranged by your personal Event Planner.

For those seeking a little more adventure, you can jump out of the boat and into the sea for a snorkelling tour of the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef. You’re sure to work up an appetite with all that excitement, so each of these options can be packaged with lunch or dinner, from a casual barbecue on the beach to gourmet catering and cocktails. 

To see Airlie Beach from every angle, consider a seaplane tour, scenic flight, skydiving, jet-skiing, or a helicopter joy flight. Get out into the wild to see the Cedar Creek Falls, or challenge your team on the Conway Circuit - 28 kilometres of walking and cycling tracks boasting breathtaking views of Whitehaven Beach and Shute Harbour.

When the Lights Go Out

Don’t be fooled by its sleepy beach town facade. Despite a permanent population of only 1200 residents, Airlie Beach has been crowned the party capital of Queensland!

Enjoying food, wine and cocktails is the order of the evening seven nights a week, and the town’s bars, pubs and clubs fill with locals and tourists alike as the sun sets on another day in paradise. 

Pull up a stool and gather around a pool table at a local watering hole, dance the night away to DJ’s and live music in the bars and clubs or retreat to a restaurant or resort for a fine dining experience. If the island vibes are calling, you can be at Hamilton Island within the hour and if you can’t settle on a single destination, consider an overnight live-aboard sailing adventure to explore everything the Whitsunday Islands have to offer.
