Just Tuk’n Around hit the road in 2015 as a fun, light-hearted, informative eco-friendly tour experience. Their unique fleet of 14 tuk tuks offer a range of tours – from their 30-minute tour, their popular Progressive Dinner, and special occasion celebrations – that zip around our pathways and boardwalks highlighting the history, landscape, and everything to do in Airlie Beach.
Just Tuk’n Around welcomed new owners in July 2023, Julia and Steve Whitton.
They met on Long Island in 1992 and then worked on Long Island, Daydream Island and South Molle Island for a decade.
After managing resorts on the Gold Coast for 20 years Steve was desperate to get back to the Whitsundays.
Being a natural entertainer, Steve started working for Just Tuk’n Around as a tour guide just so he could ride around all day looking at the beautiful scenery and talking to people. When the business came up for sale, he realised he had found his perfect job.
Their advice to other businesses is that your team and customer service are everything, your number one priority. A great team providing a great customer service experience is unbeatable, your secret weapon.
As members of the Chamber, the Whitton’s have been excited to see the recent development of the Chamber and the positive steps they are taking not only for local businesses but the community as a whole.
This month’s article showcasing our diverse businesses community was brought to you in partnership with the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Whitsunday Life Newspaper.
