Had a great time on the Matador Tour, 2 days 1 night was just the right length for me. Got to see Whitehaven Beach in the morning without any other people also did some great snorkeling. Our tour guide Fi was super fun and did a great job, Chris was an expert on the boat, also a great cook and of course couldn’t have done it through the waves without good old Toni.

It was amazing the crew (Kianna, Will & Chris) were so friendly, funny & welcoming. The snorkelling spots were perfect & the food was delicious I would highly recommend the matador for the whitsunday tour <3

    While on board, enjoy the panoramic views and relax on the spacious deck. Tame your appetite with local produce from the Whitsundays: crunchy salads, tropical fruit, and a hearty pasta dinner, all freshly prepared by the lovely crew onboard. Sip on a cool refreshment as a hazy orange sunset adorns the horizon.

    Once the stars have taken center stage and the ocean is glistening with moonlight, settle into your bed for the night and let the music of the waves gently lapping at the keel lull you to sleep.
