I had a really good time on this boat. I've been snorkeling in really beautiful places and I've even seen a manta ray. The food was also very good and the crew was really top notch.

Great overnight sailing trip! Big thank you to our captain Sam and the crew Frankie and Tyler who were super friendly and welcoming and made sure we all had a great experience on the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend, highlights being watching the sunrise and sunset, the snorkeling locations as well as visiting stunning Whitehaven beach early in the morning. Would highly recommend for a unique experience of the Whitsundays!

A great experience- well worth it. The snorkelling and star gazing was my favourite part. It was very windy weather when we went which was quite unpleasant but we made the most of it. I was disappointed that we did not sail especially as it was so windy and instead we just motored around the islands.

I really enjoyed the interaction with the group. Additionally, the three crew members were just great. They made sure things were taken care of but additionally they were fun and engaging. I am so glad I chose the Matador Whitsunday trip.
