Pete and Oscar were absolutely amazing. They made the trip the highlight of our Whitsunday holiday taking us to the best snorkelling spots. Then to Whythaven beach truly beautiful. Thank you so much guys worth every cent.
Great experience. Peter...

Great experience. Peter was a great guide. Snorkelling experience should was great! Sails were up, experience could be better if the engines were off for a little while to get the tranquility of the ocean.
Awesome day out

Was a perfect day, weather, locations and crew included. The corals were amazing the beaches out of this world and the whales just magnificent. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Was a beautiful day on the water. I would have enjoyed spending more time at destinations, most of the day was spent on the boat so unless you have a group of friends with you it might get boring- it’s 6 hours of travelling. Food was horrible so bring snacks and your own stuff. I also was pretty appalled by the way the captain treated the staff on the boat, it made me very uncomfortable and for this reason I wouldn’t use this company again.
Want to feel like a pirate?? This is the trip for you!

We had an amazing time!! Loved it!! Steve & Daisy made it such a great day! A lot of time spent relaxing in the boat, with a couple hours out to Whitehaven in the morning. Then to see Whitehaven in all its splendour was amazing!
The snorkelling was average, just like snorkelling everywhere else. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t excellent!
My advice, bring a big hat and heaps of sunscreen because there is no shade on the boat and in the full sun all day can make you feel pretty rubbish. Other than that we had a great day!
Response from Host , Aug 2020
Hi and thanks for the review - we do try to visit the best snorkelling spots but often depends on tides and weather and of course climate change which depends on our political leaders. Shade does come with the sails but as a sailing boat we don’t have additional cover but downstairs there’s a big saloon to get out of the sun. Thanks for your review.
Amazing time

I expected a full sail trip. Although sails were hoisted for parts of the trip, the engines never stopped running. Disappointing!! As for the locations visited, the lookout and beach at Whitehaven Beach was nice but nothing special, As for the Snorkeling - that was the most pathetic experience I have had and I have snorkeled plenty. So much dead coral was a shock and what was left was not worth viewing. This was a complete waste of a day and i would never recommend this itinerary with this or any other operator!!! A complete con!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
