Fly into Prosepine (closest airport to Airlie Beach) or into Hamilton Island. From Hamilton Island there are boat transfers to Long Island. Alternatively transfers depart from the mainland at Shute Harbour which is a scenic 10min drive from the centre of Airlie Beach village (a bus makes regular trips from town to the terminal, there is also a taxi rank on the main street). Ferry transfer from the mainland takes only 20minutes. A lovely cruise through the whitsunday passage, home to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner is served daily in Palms Restaurant, located on the ground floor. Dinner buffets are themed. There is also Cafe Paradiso which offers light meals, snacks and beverages at affordable prices.
