Set out on a relaxed day trip from Airlie Beach to Bowen, a hidden gem at the top of the Whitsundays. Your adventure begins at the Big Mango, where a refreshing mango sorbet gets your taste palette ready for the day ahead. From here, you'll drive along the coast and stop at some of Bowen’s most beautiful beaches, including Gray’s Bay and Horseshoe Bay. Take time to wander the shoreline, take a dip in the water, or simply soak in the relaxed North Queensland atmosphere.
Next, head to Fisherman’s Wharf for a seafood lunch at Bird’s Fish Bar, serving a variety of freshly caught delights. After lunch, you'll continue to your final stop, the Flagstaff Hill Lookout, to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne paired with a cheese and nibbles platter as you take in sweeping views of Bowen’s bays and the Whitsundays beyond. This day trip is the perfect blend of stunning scenery, local flavours, and laid-back coastal charm, making it ideal for travellers seeking a relaxed day out.
