February in the Whitsunday Islands is the quiet season. The combination of Australia back at school and the weather. factors make for bargain holidays punctuated by Valentines day.

Love is in the air

Valentines day is an important time for lovers.

The Vibe

The air in Airlie Beach, Great Barrier Reef for February is mostly quiet, except for Valentines weekend. For the bargain hunter that prefers a choice of rooms, preferred seats on boats or in restaurants, now is your time. Some time ago Airlie Beach, Great Barrier Reef hotels shut down for February as to use the quiet time and upgrade. Now most operators stay open, even if it is reduced capacity. The low numbers of visitors means you should expect to have the resort pool to yourself.

Prices

Except for Valentines weekend, you should find the best prices of the year or upgrades and extra inclusions. Weather February is usually the time with the most rain. This combines with the sub tropical summer for “steamy” days and nights. As Airlie Beach, Great Barrier Reef is below the true monsoon belt, there are periods during days and during weeks where the skies are blue and sun warm. If you have the flexibility to select a weather window for visiting, you can take advantage of periods of blue sky.

To know

Box Jelly Fish and Irukandji are in their peak time during February, but attention to instructions from tourist operators and use of “stinger suits” will reduce the risk to near zero. The water temperatures are sublime, making for a warm water aquatic experience as you should from a Airlie Beach visit.

Lovers and bargain hunters have the can flower during the February season of summer love. Wear a stinger suit and stay out of the sun for maximum enjoyment. Find a bargain and take the best seat in the house.
