Amazing stuff, I had a blast. The skipper is hyper skilled, the organization was top notch, the food really great and the views, oh my god! Bring a rain jacket or something, maybe a change of clothes, as you may get cold from the wind and the water splashing (depends where you are seated, in the back you are more prone to that).

Full description

Get picked up from the nearest meeting point and begin your beach adventure. Board a comfortable speedboat and head to your first stop, an idyllic snorkeling location off-shore. Spend about an hour snorkeling in the fringes of the Great Barrier Reef and exploring the area's marine life.

Next, head to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Relax on the beach and enjoy a fresh buffet, including salad, shrimp, a meat platter, fruit salads, bread rolls, and wraps.

Hop back on the boat and head to your last stop, Hill Inlet Lookout. Spend about an hour admiring the stunning views from this perfect vantage point before returning back to shore.

From July to September, keep an eye out for humpback whales as they migrate.

Best tour that I did in the Whitsundays! Luke and Lachie were amazing guides. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. They were attentive and provided lots of information about the reef. I highly recommend this tour.
