We did the full day sailing adventure on Camira, the largest sailing catamaran in the Whitsundays, and it was just fantastic. There were around 70 people on board, but it never felt busy or crowded. Plenty of space to move around, sit back, and actually enjoy the day. The itinerary was spot on. We snorkelled parts of the Great Barrier Reef, which alone makes the day special, and then headed to Hill Inlet for the walk up to the lookout. It was hot and humid and there are a lot of steps, but the view is exactly that iconic Whitsundays image you see everywhere and it is absolutely worth the effort. The white silica sand and those swirling blues are stunning. Food was plentiful and really good, and drinks were included from late morning, which added to the relaxed, festive feel of the day. Nothing rushed, just a lovely steady pace. The crew were friendly, professional, and clearly know what they’re doing. All up, this was a beautiful way to experience the Whitsundays in a single day. Great sailing, incredible scenery, well organised, and thoroughly enjoyable. I’d absolutely recommend it.
Simply amazing!!

Awesome experience! Loved the overall activity and service. The highlight of the tour (to me) is the snorkeling coz that was my first time and it's just incredible. Friendly staff and good food, highly recommended.

Had the best day on Camira, the crew put on a great day with plenty of yummy food and drinks. Whitehaven beach and Hill inlet lookout are a must see! That atmosphere on the boat is fun and relaxing. Our kids (12 & 14) were not bored for a second, staff even played games to keep them entertained on the the back to port. Highly recommend this trip.

Unfortunately this was not as advertised. The adverts states 10hrs - the trip was cut short. Hike to the Hill Inlet Lookout, leave footprints in the white silica sand - they didn't tell us that they would not be doing this until we were on the boat. Don't be fooled by the sails up picture, the 20 years experience captain just ran the boat on the motor the whole time and the sails were put up just for effect ( I have sailed and this was not sailing). They took us to a historic cave paining instead which, history wise was ok, but the staff were desperate to show us the cave then get back on the boat, all done in about 45 minutes - a far cry from the advertised hike in the white silica sands. I understand weather changes and plans need to change, but this trip is highlighted as a hike on the white silica sand. They should have informed us that we would not be doing what was promised and given us the option to cancel. The staff were very friendly and attentive, they tired their best to entertain us but in all pretty boring and a lot of people just fell asleep. Your best bet is to book a fast boat if you want to actually get to the white silica sand beach - a lot cheaper as well If you really want to do this trip then I suggest you ask the itinerary as you arrive at the dock, if the trip is not as advertised then ask for a refund or to move to another day.
Fabulous Day Out

We had the BEST experience on our Camira day out on the Whitsundays Islands. The crew were fantastic and treated everyone with a smile. Safety was noticeably important but with a fun twist. The food was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and planet of it. We finished the day heading back to Airlee Beach with beer and wine provided in the package. Would highly recommend Cruise Whitsundays!
Amazing views and wildlife!

A fantastic day out from start to finish. The Camira crew were determined that we should not go hungry and thirsty. Safety briefings were good and organisation from stinger suits to fins was great. We saw a turtle, sting rays and lemon sharks up close and had an amazing snorkel over one of the fringing reefs. Perfect!

The Camira sailing tour through the Whitsundays was absolutely amazing! From the moment we stepped on board, everything was seamless, the crew were unreal, super friendly, and made the whole day feel relaxed but still packed with fun. The boat itself is stunning, the food was great, and the stops along the way were picture-perfect. Sailing through that water, taking in those views, and spending time at Whitehaven… honestly one of the best days we’ve had up here. If you’re visiting the Whitsundays, this tour is a must. I’ll be recommending Camira to everyone, it’s genuinely one of those experiences you’ll be talking about for ages.
This was a perfect day,...

The tour was nice, we had great weather and also the food was great. Whitehaven Beach is uniquely beautiful. The reef we saw later at the Getting to see snorkeling was really nice and intact too. Unfortunately, due to the tide, the walk to the Inlet Hill Lookout was closed, but the crew couldn't help it, which was of course a pity. Because just from up here you can see all the beauty... Furthermore, it is important to be aware during the tour that this is a fairly large group that does not allow individual support. Grade as a snorkel beginner whrs not good. Everything seemed a little impersonal. Since we did two extremely authentic and individual tours with only 30 people before that, we were certainly a bit spoiled by it.
