Don River Dash 300

Are you ready for one of the biggest sporting events in Queensland!

The Don River Dash is an endurance and off-road racing event that continues to break competitor and spectator records.

Competitors travel 25km upstream along the southern bed of Bowen’s Don River.

Navigating their way through a mixture of sand, rocks, and jumps, the competitors will then return along the northern side of the river bed, completing the 50km loop.

In total, competitors test their skills over 2 days and across 300km to answer the ultimate question:

Who will be King or Queen of the River?

Luxury Airlie Beach Home with Panoramic Ocean Views
While this place is close to town, the hill and access is very steep. However, this is easy to overcome as the views are absolutely unmatched!! We had the most wonderful time at this beautiful property.

'Island Time' Whitsunday Beachfront Apartment
The homestay has a very spacious space. You can see a beautiful sea view right from the balcony, and the beach is just a 50-meter walk away. The supermarket and the main street are also within walking distance. It was a fantastic stay!

Holiday on The Horizon, Airlie Beach Holiday Home with Jacuzzi
The views were absolutely stunning - perched up nice and high to get a beautiful view of Airlie and its surrounding islands!! The location was secluded enough that we felt nice and tucked away but close enough that we could walk to the main street. The house itself was absolutely gorgeous, had everything we needed and we all agreed the beds were some of the comfiest beds we had ever slept on. The check in and check out process was seamless and the hosts were great and gave us places to go and extra tips for our stay. We absolutely loved it!!

Holiday on The Horizon, Airlie Beach Holiday Home with Jacuzzi
An absolute dream stay! That direct ocean view is even more breathtaking in person than in the photos waking up to it every morning completely made my trip. The place was spotless, so cozy, and had everything we needed. Whitsunday Vacations made the whole booking super smooth too. Can't wait to come back!

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat
If you want views this is the place 😍 Beautiful home with stunning views overlooking the Whitsunday islands.Every morning absolutely wonderful sunrises out every window facing the water. The home itself is modern and spacious. It was perfect for our family holiday, with 3 separate levels, which worked well for us. The swimming pool was clean and also had the same exquisite views. We watched boats head out to the islands and stingrays swim in the shallows at low tide all from the deck. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, loved our stay And thanks to our host Ali who was fabulous at recommending and booking some of our activities We did the Ocean rafting, it was a great way to see the islands. Also the flight over the reef …. Amazing

14 The Cove - Waterfront Whitsunday Home
We had an absolutely beautiful stay in Airlie Beach. The house was amazing and a beautiful location. There was so much to see and do - definite highlight was our day out on the water, where we saw whales, dolphins and turtles. Such a lovely holiday. We would highly recommend staying here and we definitely plan to return.
