DESCRIPTION

    Get excited to discover Bowen-Top of the
    Whitsundays. This lesser-known coastal
    gem is bursting with beauty, beaches, history, flora, and surprises. Be
    enraptured on a fascinating day of pure discovery as we uncover Bowen’s
    breathtaking beaches, lookouts, landscapes, geological marvels and rich stories
    past. Wander where the crowds don’t go and soak in the diversity of panoramic
    coastal views, see where ‘Australia’ was filmed, get your photo at The Big
    Mango, visit the Catalina display and relax with a mouthwatering lunch dockside.
    Touring in Bowen since 2022, your experienced expert local guide uncovers the magic
    of Bowen and listen to remarkable stories about local indigenous, shipwrecks, explorers
    and space rockets. 

    Just one hour Bowen—a sun-soaked coastal gem bursting with natural beauty, rich history, and unforgettable local flavours. Join Driftwood Tours on a full-day adventure to explore this laid-back tropical paradise where postcard-perfect beaches meet rugged granite landscapes and fascinating stories of the past.

    Start your journey with Bowen’s beach bounty—from the soft white sands of Horseshoe Bay to the hidden coves of Grey’s Bay and Murray Bay, each offering its own slice of secluded paradise. A short walk to the Rotary Lookout rewards you with sweeping views over Queens Beach, the islands beyond, and the mountain-fringed coastline—a true visual feast for nature lovers and photographers alike.

    Delve into Bowen’s rich heritage, where charming streets are lined with historic buildings and tales of shipwrecks, pioneers, and port-town legends. Our knowledgeable guides bring the past to life as you walk in the footsteps of early settlers and uncover the town’s fascinating connection to Queensland’s wider story.

    Of course, no visit to Bowen is complete without a stop at the legendary Birds Fish Bar. Tuck into the freshest local seafood, served right on the waterfront with a view of the colourful fishing boats bobbing in the bay—it’s coastal dining at its best.

    To cap off your day, we’ll ascend to Flagstaff Hill Lookout for breathtaking panoramic views over the Coral Sea and Whitsunday Islands. It’s the perfect moment to pause, snap a few stunning photos, and soak in the raw beauty of this unspoiled corner of North Queensland.
