25.01.2022 Say hi to our new little orphaned possum. He is being kept safe in this pouch and fed from a teeny bottle - in this case from one of our animal-loving guests, Amber.

24.01.2022 Aren't you tired of waking up and finding out you aren't here? #wearewaitingforyou

23.01.2022 The most versatile item you will ever pack is a sarong. It is so much more than a coverup when you are at the beach. It can be used as a sheet, a head and shoulder covering when visiting temples and the like, a towel, a privacy screen for those nights you are in a large or busy dorm, folded into a head rest, twirled to make a rope, They weigh nothing, take up very little room and can be bought for just a few dollars, so when you see a sarong you love, shop away!

23.01.2022 Our dining room wall has had a ‘spruce-up’ thanks to the lovely @renatarfarinha It’s now an Insta wall! Take a photo, tag a friend and post the pic . . . .... . #airliebeach #lovewhitsundays #whitsundays #instagram #photo #travel #hostel #backpacking #backpacker #hostellife #backpackersbythebay #instaworthy See more

21.01.2022 The Whitsundays aren't just about the islands and the reef. We are also close to Eungella National Park, home to these cute little creatures - the duckbilled platypus. Here you will also find the longest continual stretch of sub-tropical rainforest in Australia with plenty of easy-graded walks to enjoy. Ask our friendly reception staff about how you can visit this area.

17.01.2022 And who you meet along the way! That’s why ‘old-school’ hostels like Backpackers By The Bay will always be relevant for people who are genuinely curious about the world and it’s people - as it was purpose-built to maximise interaction between guests

17.01.2022 My favourite thing to pack for trips is all the clothes I never wear at home, and then find fun, flirty and exciting ways to not wear them while I'm away! #overpack

16.01.2022 The Whitsundays - where you’d rather be

13.01.2022 The only purpose-built backpackers hostel in Airlie Beach, BBB has loads of common areas, making it easy to meet other people. Over the years, not only have many long-term friendships been forged, but we've even had couples meet for the first time and then go on to marry and have children together. Just call us 'The Love Shack'!

13.01.2022 Happy birthday Peter. Thank you @pattiyacomo and @renatarfarinha for making such a wonderful birthday cake

09.01.2022 Q. "Can we camp on the Whitsundays Islands?" A. "Yes, you sure can. The islands are national parks with secluded beaches, fringing coral reefs and distinctive flora. You will require a permit from Queensland National Parks (there is an office nearby the hostel) and fees apply. "Staff at reception will be happy to help you with details on how to get to the islands and where to find information".

03.01.2022 If you enjoy cooking, like sharing recipes and meals, or just find it more economical to cook at home, BBB's fully equipped kitchen will be a welcome find. All pots, pans, crockery and cutlery are supplied free of charge and there are plenty of dry and fridge storage areas available. If you are keen to keep an eye on your health and fitness while you are travelling, have a chat to the owners who will be more than happy to share tips and recipes.

03.01.2022 Sailing tours are operating again in the Whitsundays. There are options for one day trips to the Whitsunday Islands for snorkelling, diving, sailing and exploring the islands. There are also overnight sailing trips, where you sleep on board the boat for one or two nights which will allow you to see more of the region and all meals, snorkelling equipment etc are included. Different boats cater to different needs and it can be confusing working out which trip will suit what you are after. Our friendly reception staff are happy to help you and give you unbiased advice on the options to make sure you have a great time.

02.01.2022 If you enjoy bushwalking, there are plenty of walks on the mainland around Airlie Beach and Bowen and out on the islands. They range in the degree of difficulty and length, so there is something to suit everyone. Ask our lovely staff at reception for more information.
