Enjoy Cape Gloucester

Cape Gloucester is a tiny coastal town just north of Airlie Beach. Spend the afternoon doing whatever you please! Cape Gloucester Resort is a treasured local hangout spot. Here you can use the swimming pool, sip cocktails, order food, listen to live music, and mingle with other travelers and locals. You can also go for a stroll on the secluded beaches, snap some photos of the surrounding Coral Sea and islands, and just relax while admiring the vibrant tropical views. A visit to Cape Gloucester allows you sit back, relax, and live your best life in the Whitsundays!

Cape Gloucester Beach


Visit Dingo Beach

Dingo Beach is a hidden gem that not many visitors to the region know about. The sandy beach is the perfect place for a refreshing dip. Spend your time strolling along the golden shores, laying in the sun or playing in the ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for marine life like turtles which can often be spotted along the beach! There is also a safe enclosed area for swimming during stinger season.

We highly recommend that all clients have travel insurance covering illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings and not being able to travel on the confirmed date of departure. You should also ensure your travel insurance will cover special circumstances including weather events preventing guests from travelling to their tour departure destination and cancelled flights due to unforeseen circumstances.

We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance, especially during the wet season.

In the unlikely event of your trip being cancelled or stood down, all guest communication is required to go through our Online Store via telephone or email. While there is a Sailing Whitsundays retail outlet located Airlie Beach, please be aware that they operate as a separate entity and are unable to access reservations made by the Mr Travel online department.
