4.00Great day, sailed across to Whitsunday islands. Loads of space. Great food. Did not actually go to Whitehaven beach which was a shame
This is an amazing day...

5.00This is an amazing day trip, great value for money. The crew are great and look after everything and take safety very seriously but with good humour. There is constant food and drinks throughout the day which is of a good standard. It’s very organised with plenty of time for the activities. The snorkelling was the highlight for us. We would recommend this trip as a must do when visiting Airlie Beach for a few days, thanks Cameira

5.00Excellent day trip. A good balance of chilled sailing time, activities and sight seeing. The crew are great, they’re fun, knowledgeable and ensure everyone’s safety. Plenty food and drink, you won’t go hungry or thirsty.
Day trip on the Camira

5.00We took a day trip on the Camira to Whitehaven Beach and snorkelling, the whole experience was a joy from start to finish, the vessel, the team and the hospitality was perfect, really relaxing day. Taking the tender boat in to shore was perfect, all highly recommended
Unprofessional greedy operation

1.00The weather was very poor before leaving the marina. The operator knew this and did not allow for a reschedule. They pushed on. 10 people sea sick and vomiting into clear plastic bags. They cancelled the snorkeling. The beach and inlet had no enjoyment because of constant rain. Most tours would not have left the dock, refunded the money and or rescheduled. So we paid a fee that was for snack food, alcohol in a down poor. The staff knew they were not providing anything close to a service worthy of the fee. No partial refund or compensation. I would rate them unprofessional and greedy. Do Not Book With Them if Rain is present or on the horizon.
7-Stars for the Skipper and Crew

5.00To the Camira Team, I wanted to send a massive thank you to the crew of my recent cruise to Whitehaven. This was my first time ever snorkeling, and I was a bit overwhelmed when my goggles broke. I am so grateful to Brodi for being so attentive; she went and got me a new pair and transformed my nerves into a beautiful memory. Skipper Chris Jiggins and the rest of the team felt like friends I’d known for years. Skipper was a proper gentleman. Your support and warmth turned a great trip into a spectacular one. You all have a special way of making every guest feel seen and supported. Thank you for the "7-star" treatment—I’ll never forget it!
Disappointing experience

2.00We had a confirmed booking WITH pick up at the hotel, waiting for more than one hour nobody showed up, calling was not possible , when we finally reached one, they were not very helpful and told us to late, the boat would leave in some minutes. Totally disapponting experience, even in getting the refund!,
Highly recommend!

5.00Very friendly staff, couldn’t fault the experience. Great day with the taste of the Whitsunday experience. Snorkelling spot a bit overcrowded and not too much to see, head to the outer reef for that. Great food , plenty to drink , never ending eskis !
Perfect sailing trip in the Whitsundays

5.00We had an amazing trip on the Camira, all of the staff were lovely and the bar was fully stocked for the whole trip!! Food was also great.

5.00It was so fun and there was a really nice net at the front for sleep and chill and there was seating for eating inside and a mini bar and free drinks and a barbecue and snacks throughout the day. It was definitely worth the money and I highly recommend. They were very mindful of the reef which was very kind and they guided us on Whitehaven island and gave us sting prevention suits which was very good. A brilliant experience. It was a whole day so anyone who wishes to have a day out this is the perfect activity. There were about 60 people which was perfect and never too crowded! Thank you!
