5.00Great trip for anyone wanting to visit the Whitsundays. Kate,Meg & Chris were very knowledgeable & made for a great trip
Crew didn't know what they were doing

3.00The crew had no idea what they were doing. The captain had to explain everything, if there had been a dangerous situation the crew would have been of no use. Captain did a nice job, but you can't have 2 people who aren't properly trained as crew. Looked like a neighbor and neighbor show. Furthermore, the captain told nice stories and we snorkeled in beautiful places. Food was fine not special, but tip to bring your own snacks.
A tour you must have taken

5.00I went on a sailing trip with Kate and Carys. Which included 2 days and 2 nights. We were on the ship with the two total 9 people. A really cool troupe :) The first day started at noon. We were warmly welcomed and after a first sailing trip, we went snorkeling. The landscape in the Great Barrier Reef is simply unsurpassed. You can see countless colored fish and corals. What I found especially nice: the two (Kate and Carys) first told something about the fish and about the reef. So you went on the first gear to snorkel with a basic knowledge and were happy when you knew what you saw. The food was also always very delicious. You were never hungry and what I especially appreciated was that everything was home cooked. Carys is a really good cook. Thank you very much at this point. So it continued on the second day and we spent a nice time together snorkeling, hiking and eating. After two nights we got up early and enjoyed the sunrise with delicious pancakes. A wonderful feeling. Then we drove back to shore, which took a little over 2h. Around 10:00 we docked in Airlie Beach again. My conclusion: it was a wonderful time and I would recommend everyone to do this. Just remember: there is a bit much in the blazing sun and you are on the sea. The first night was a bit chilly. If you are up to it, then book this tour by all means. You won't regret it!
Mandrake 2 day 2 night tour

5.00I had an amazing time onboard the Mandrake, with Kate and Carys and 6 other guests. They made us feel right at home, brought amazing energy to the tour, and we stopped at lots of beautiful sites, including a 3 hour stop at whitehaven beach. The snorkelling spots we went to were fantastic and we got a real good insight into the reef with a 30 minutes presentation led by the crew. I would strongly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the highlights of the Whitsundays and have such a feel good time. Thank you Ozsail, Kate and Carys once again!

5.00Max, Meg, and Hannah were the best crew ever! This boat trip was definitely the highlight of my trip to the East Coast. I really appreciated that they took care of all food allergies. As a person who is gluten and diary intolerant that can be quite of a challenge, but on avatar the food was fantastic. We went snorkeling four times, and each time I never felt like we had to rush; they just let us go at our own pace, which was great! Thank you so much for everything, it was fantastic. I was on the Avatar boat, a catamaran, and it was just great to lie on the sun loungers and sleep at night!
Must do

5.00Sleeping inside the boat can be a bit complicated, however, the views, places and activities are completely worth it, I would recommend going with a friend, it is a great tour if you want to know well the islands and especially Whitsundays. It is important to carry a portable battery!, there are few chargers inside the boat

5.00I had two super fun days on the Spank Me boat with Alex, Chris and Kayla. All three of them did their best to show us the best of the Whitsundays. On the second day we left early towards Whitehaven Beach so we were the only ones on the beach! It is not a wild party boat but the evenings were cozy and social with the other travelers. I definitely recommend this tour!
