Can I do the tours back-to-back?
Due to the 11-hour journey between Airlie Beach and Rainbow Beach, we recommend giving yourself at least one or two days between the end of your first tour and the beginning of your second.
If you're really short on time, chat with our travel agents to optimise your days on the East Coast!
