Best of Airlie - For first visit to Airlie I recommend doing this tour on the first day.
Charlene is a fantastic driver & guide who took us all over Airlie & Shute Harbour. The tour was informative and helpful as we were able to work out restaurants etc to visit. She took us to great private & public viewing points so we could admire the beauty of this special place.
Charlene always went out of her way to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

DO THIS TOUR with Cherene. Driftwood tours. Best 2.5 hours to see Airlie - Cherene is the ultimate tour guide. Running her own business (go girl!) you get the personal touch, off the track viewing points, information and insights. My hubby has arthritis, and Cherene couldn't have helped him more with getting on and off the bus, seat belt etc. Went to lovely local places we would never have known about, and ended up at a gorgeous pub on the water where we shared time, talks and a drink (own cost). She was well aware of our need to be back for our tender to go back to the cruise ship. Defo do this tour-great value and very informative.

Undoubtably the very best tour of Airlie and the surrounds - We happen to stumble upon driftwood tours when we arrived to Airlie beach via cruise ship. And were absolutely blown away with the service and knowledge of our tour guide and owner Cherene. The 2 hours was full of fun, witty commentary and contemporary knowledge. The attention to small details made the trip very accessible for all ages and memorable. Would highly recommend to anyone !!!
