Reaching Whitsundays

 

Arrival by Air
Airports are at Proserpine (Whitsundays Coast Airport) and on Hamilton Island. Jetstar and Virgin Blue offer flights to both airports from the main cities. From Prosperine it is 35 minutes to Shute Harbour where the ferries operate from.

Arrival by train
If you arrive by train, even early in the morning, a bus will be waiting at Prosperine station to take passengers to Airlie Beach , and also to Shute Harbour, from where the ferries leave.

Arrival by bus
Most of the long-distance bus services divert to here and if this is your destination, it is best to take such a service, although local buses, operated by Whitsunday Transit, run regularly from Proserpine if needed.

Arrival by car
Airlie Beach is 1100 km north of Brisbane, 125 km north of Mackay and 60km south of Bowen.
