After a last-minute cancellation from another company, Pioneer Adventures stepped in and absolutely saved the day. They organised a private boat trip for our group on short notice, and the experience was flawless – warm and friendly service, a fantastic skipper (Alex) who made sure we had the best time out on the water and a beautiful day out. We had an absolute ball on the boat and the itinerary was perfectly balanced with adventure and relaxation, and every single person in our group had an incredible time. We loved it so much we booked their sunset cruise too! Pioneer Adventures is now our go-to in the Whitsundays. Reliable, professional, customer focused and genuinely passionate about creating great experiences. Can’t thank them enough for turning what could have been a ruined birthday into an unforgettable one! See you next time team! <3

It was amazing! Our tour guide Alex, gave us a run down also of landmarks around Airlie, as well as going EXTREMELY fast! The tour on daydream was great, a quick swim in the pool and then back home on the jet boat. I also loved that all the photos taken were free of charge after it. Highly recommend for families!

We had an amazing time out on the Jetboat over to Daydream Island. My 12 year old daughter loved the fast boat action too! On our guided tour we learnt about Coral farming, we saw the shark and stingray feeding show and then we were able to pat the stingrays!! Afterwards we had some free time to explore, relax, swim in the pool and get an Ice cream.
