We sailed through ROUGH waters for almost 3 straight hours but not once did we feel unsafe! Our guides were fantastic, made the experience fun, we felt safe and well looked after. They were very sociable and knowledgeable. The one downside was that I had specified I was vegetarian but was not given a vegetarian meal- neither was another family who specified gluten free. One of the guides, Hans, was very dismissive with this and once I had asked for my vegetarian meal, he was dismissive of me, and even ignored me when offering everyone stinger suites and snorkles. Not his fault, as he simply picked up the meals he was told to get, but clearly a system error regarding dietary requirements. He then handed me a piece of quiche, making sure to drop it directly onto the boat instead of my hand before just walking off... odd, however out main guide was AMAZING.

What a beautiful experience sailing around the Whitsunday islands! The crew were extremely approachable and knowledgeable, the food options were delicious (the bbq lunch was 10/10) and we loved being onboard a catamaran with so much space to chill out (compared to other boats we saw) whilst sailing in between excursions like snorkelling and visiting Whitehaven beach. Would 100% recommend 😇🏝️

This was simply amazing! We even saw turtles! Fantastic, friendly environment, lovely views and sunsets, great snacks (I've never had such a tasty antipasti!) 10/10 playlist and vibes all around, you'd truly be missing out if you don't book this tour!
