5.00I gentle ride across to Pigeon Island in an electric powered boat. Maximum of 8 guests made for a friendly and personal experience. Josh was very knowledgeable and we saw turtles on both sides of the island so a successful trip.
Whisper Cruises, pure magic

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Whisper Cruises turtle spotting tour in Airlie Beach. The small group size made it feel like a private adventure, and the skipper was friendly and full of great information about the area and the turtles.The boat is electric and super quiet, so you just glide along without disturbing the wildlife. We saw turtles popping up all around us. It was peaceful and scenic.

5.00Very comfy boat and perfectly built to spot turtles. We has a relating day but still saw lots of stuff including a batfish that was apparently having fun playing about and is a rare sight! Handsome thing though, very glad we took this trip.
Great and relaxing activity!

5.00The tour was absolutely perfect! 🌊🐢 The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, and our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the turtles and the region. As this tour operates with the only fully electric boat, making no noise at all, we saw so many turtles – an unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!
