About South Molle Island Helipad
South Molle Island Helipad is a small heliport serving South Molle Island, a resort island in the Whitsundays group off the coast of Queensland. It provides air access for charter flights, helicopter transfers and island logistics rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
Located in the Whitsundays, the island sits about 8 km northeast of Shute Harbour and roughly 16 km across the water from Airlie Beach. The helipad gives resort guests a direct aerial arrival option alongside private boat and water taxi transfers, with travel times varying according to weather and operator.
Facilities at the helipad itself are minimal, and most accommodation, dining and guest services are provided by the nearby island resort. The facility operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time, matching the Whitsundays region.
As a compact island gateway, South Molle Island Helipad supports tourism and supply access for South Molle Island and connects guests with mainland departure points and helicopter tour operators in the Whitsundays.
