Great experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Had an amazing time in this tour. Great playlist ❤️ throughout the trip. Staff was friendly and funny. I found another solo traveler and asked if we could swap snorkeling groups to be together and they were happy to help us. The snorkelling area was beautiful and staff was always making sure everyone was safe and supported. I was able to see a turtle and many beautiful creatures. I wish there was an option to stay snorkeling longer because it was such s beautiful experience. I choose not to do the hike and enjoy the beach floating on the borrowed noodle.The water was incredible, full of beautiful fish that are curious to check you out. Lunch was okay more of a light snack back at the boat, some people came early back to the boat, so when I got back some items had run out already. But that has more to do with the people than the organisation. I would suggest, keeping some in the fridge and laying out as more people arrive so no one is missing out.

The crew were super...

Great Barrier Reef/Whitsunday boat trip

Published on Jan, 2025

Had an amazing day today! Even though it rained for a bit that didn’t stop our fun! The spot where we snorkelled was amazing! The giant clam was as a highlight! The amount of different coral and fish species was stunning! All the staff were great fun and very knowledgeable. This was the last thing we did in Airlie and definitely left the best til last! A definite must! Lexi was very knowledgeable with her facts about the Coral Reef too! Didn’t want the day to end!

Oak (our skipper) and his mates Angus and Char were awesome. It was a great boat trip with snorkeling. Fun atmosphere, good music and great route

The Perfect Whitsunday Adventure

Published on Jan, 2025

We had the most amazing day! Family of 4 with a 7yo and 14yo, all of us had a fantastic experience. We travelled in rainy season so we knew it would be risky, but the weather was great. We were welcomed by the lovely crew who took us through our day. Letting us know everything we needed and more. First stop chalkies and a small walk to a beautiful view of Whitehaven beach. Then Whitehaven where we earnt our lunch with a sweaty walk to the top of the hill with a spectacular view along the beach. Lexie and Charlotte, the guides gave us some cool information on the beach and the area. We donned our stinger suits and splashed around in the crystal clear water with fishes swimming right next to us. A small taster of the snorkeling we were going to do next. Lunch was delicious, with something for everyone even my fussy children. Back on the boat to the next stop, absolute highlight. The gear we wore was comfortable and the crew made sure we were all sorted with the right equipment. We snorkeled around a big playground of fish and coral. An unforgettable experience showing the kids just a snippet of what art mother nature can create. Angus floated around and helped us capture the best spots while keeping us safe. Back on the boat we thought the adventure was over, but it was Captain Caseys time to shine. She put the boat into adrenaline mode and rode the ocean like a roller coaster. A thrilling way to end what was the perfect Whitsunday tour. Highly recommend
