About us

Whitsundays Deals is a locally owned Airlie Beach business and the sister site of whitsundays.tours. We bring together genuine discounts from local tourism and hospitality operators, the kind you only get when you book direct. Find a deal, copy the operator’s promo code, and book straight on their own website. No booking fees, no account, just a better price than the big online travel sites give you.

How the deals work

Every deal here is a real discount, issued by the operator themselves. When you book through a global travel platform, the operator pays that platform a hefty commission. When you book direct, that commission stays with the operator, and they pass a good chunk of it back to you as the discount. You get a better price, the operator keeps more of what they earn, and more of the money stays in the Whitsundays.

Each deal shows the offer, a promo code, and a link to the operator’s official booking page. Copy the code, head to their site, and enter it at checkout. That simple.

Our story

My wife and I have called Airlie Beach home for over 25 years, and we have spent most of that time in the local tourism industry. We are a family of four, raising our two children here in the place we love. Finding the best holiday deals can take hours of digging, so we put our local knowledge and a long-held love of web design to work, tracked down genuine value across the Whitsundays, and gathered it all in one easy place.

Our mission

Our mission is simple: help more people enjoy the Whitsundays by making it easier and more affordable to get here, while keeping more of what visitors spend with the local businesses who earn it.

Are you a Whitsundays operator?

Currently, Whitsundays Deals is a closed, invite-only network, and it costs nothing to take part. You offer a genuine direct-booking deal, and in return, your deal reaches the customers of the other operators in the group, so everyone’s visitors cross over. If you would like to be part of it, get in touch.
