Get in

By plane

• 🌍 Proserpine Airport (PPP  ^IATA also known as Whitsunday Coast Airport) (about 10 km south of town). The two main airlines flying to here are Virgin Australia, Tiger Air and Jetstar direct from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. A number of buses serve the terminal, and drive to Airlie Beach or other locations but all but one must be prebooked. The tickets cost a flat $15 per person one way and can be purchased in a queue at a clearly marked booth just inside the arrival gate. The bus driver mans the booth, and when everyone has got a ticket (about 30-40 minutes wait from arrival) the bus gets going. Another option is to take a taxi, for which there is also a booth inside the arrivals gate. However taxi rides seem to match the bus price, and cost $15 per person. Also, there may not be any taxis waiting. The ride to Airlie beach is smooth and takes about 40 minutes. The driver will ask where you are staying and take you to the door of the hostel or hotel in Airlie Beach.  

By train

Queensland Rail has twice weekly services running from Proserpine to Brisbane on the "Tilt Train".
