Whitsunday Sailing Outrigger operates guided outrigger canoe and sailing experiences from Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays. The business offers three signature 1.5-hour tours: the Sunset Tour, the Eco Adventure Tour, and the Turtle Discovery Tour. Each tour combines hands-on outrigger paddling instruction with opportunities to sail, explore sheltered bays, and view coastal wildlife.
The Sunset Tour is a 1½-hour guided experience that includes sparkling wine, snacks, photography, and a handmade floral hairpiece. The Eco Adventure Tour features paddling in Australia's only commercial sailing outrigger canoe, gliding past waterfront homes to Funnel Bay while guests learn outrigger paddling techniques and watch for wildlife. The Turtle Discovery Tour paddles to Whisper Bay and Pigeon Island to observe marine life in natural habitats; snacks, provided gear, and photos are included.
All departures operate from Airlie Beach and are 1.5 hours in duration. Tours provide gear and on-tour photography as part of the experience. Activities focus on safe, guided paddling and low-impact exploration of the Whitsunday coastline. The combination of sailing, paddling instruction, and accessible bay landings makes the tours suitable for families and groups seeking an active, nature-focused outing.
Booking information, exact departure times, and availability are provided by the operator. Prospective guests should reference official tour listings for current schedules, inclusions, accessibility details, and any age or health recommendations. Tours are available for families and mixed groups, with opportunities to learn basic outrigger techniques, enjoy coastal scenery, and observe local seabirds and marine habitats in a low-impact way and photo keepsakes provided.
