BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort, in Queensland’s Airlie Beach, is set on 10.5ha of botanic-like gardens and is just a hop-step-andjump to Australia’s marine crown – the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.

Did you know this family-friendly tropical holiday park was the Winner of the 2015 Queensland Tourism Award for ‘Caravan and Holiday Parks’? In fact Adventure Whitsunday has over 35 major tourism awards to its name. Constantly evolving and adding facilities and activities to thrill both new guests and the many regular returning families, the big news is that opening in early 2017 will be an exciting super-fantastic water park! That’s on top of the brand new Animal Park with over 20 friendly resident animals. Guests can hold, pat and feed these cute farm animals at scheduled times throughout the week.

The Park’s activities are tailor-made for kids big and small, and include jumping pillows, tennis court, outdoor cinema, go karts, 18-hole mini-golf, creative, jam-packed weekly Activity Guides full of fun and games, and extra fun and entertainm­ent programs, including Kids Club and Toddler Time, during the school holidays.

Families love the scope of quality accommodat­ion options at Adventure Whitsunday - from budget to spare-noexpense, you can find something suitable for a single family holiday, or bring the whole clan – grandparen­ts, aunts and uncles and friends – and share camping sites, multiple villas or luxurious three-bedroom apartments­tyle condominiu­ms. Cabins are self-contained, beautifull­y decorated and squeaky clean. Every cabin has its own balcony and is set among lush mini rainforest­s of palms, fragrant shrubs and rock gardens, for a private and tranquil retreat.

Head out and explore the nearby attraction­s Airlie Beach has to offer. The Park’s friendly staff will be happy to help you with insider lowdown and tips, organise a picnic, and point you in the right direction for jetski tours, sailing, beautiful beaches (including famous Whitehaven Beach) and trips to the Great Barrier Reef!
