Our company is in a small locally owned and operated Whitsundays business. Our crew truly make the difference, they are passionate about showing our guests the highlights of the Whitsundays, are funny, easy going, yet professional and safety conscious. Our small group size of 35 guests max makes the cruise more personalised, where everyone knows everyone's name at the end of the cruise. The boat is fast and comfortable and is the best type of vessel to travel on if you suffer from sea sickness, as the open plan nature and speed prevents sea sickness. We are suitable for single travelers, couples, families, seniors and children 3 years +. The lunch served on Whitehaven is a highlight for many, fresh tasty salads, prawns, cold meats, fresh fruit served on a stunning beach in the shade. Snorkeling tuition provided, fish feeding is always fun for the kids and adults alike! A cruise with us will provide fantastic memories to last a lifetime. We look forward to welcoming you onboard :)

5.00Although the weather didn’t pan out like we’d hoped, the tour was great. Very entertaining and fun crew to help keep the hopes alive. Big thanks to Bella for taking pics for us and everyone else did a great job keeping it fun for us. The views were still great and got to see a lot of really cool places.

5.00Wonderful experience with such lovely crew, they always made sure you were okay. My only criticism is that by the time lunch was served at 1pm you were starved from the hike at hills inlet and snorkelling. Afternoon tea was served on the way back, I would have preferred maybe a morning tea because only 2 hours before they served a big lunch. Lunch was standard cold cuts and bread rolls nothing special. However what was special was the amazing spots they took us to snorkel- OUTSTANDING. you wouldn’t want to do a day trip longer than this because it is a massive day - we ended up falling asleep at Whitsundays beach. The fact that they arranged transfer bus’ to and from your accommodation just takes the hassle out of the day and gives you a chance to relax and meet new people on the tour. I’d accidentally left my phone on the transfer bus and they dropped it to my hotel the next morning, such genuine and accommodating people. Overall I’d highly recommend this tour, great to support a family owned business.
Great day out

5.00What an amazing day from being picked up from where we were staying and dropped back at the end of the day. Luke and Dane made everything roll seamlessly the beach stop and lunch at Whitehaven was insane then to end the trip with snorkelling was the perfect way to end the day on a high would definitely be back

5.00We had an amazing day out with Luke, Dane and Charlotte. The lookout, beach and snorkelling activities were some of the best we’ve experienced. The crew were happy to take photos and nothing was too much trouble. They were knowledgeable and always made everyone feel safe and comfortable. Their timing was impeccable and kept a good flow on the 7 hour day. We were also well fed. Would highly recommend this tour!
Super nice trip!! Great...

5.00We had a great day on this trip! Dan, Luke & Bella were fantastic - made it so much fun! The trip out was great, we then did the Hill Inlet walk with great views, snorkelling & then lunch on the beach and free time to swim/sunbathe etc. Lunch was good and plenty of it and the trip back was great too. They were all super knowledgable, fun but attentive and we would recommend to all! Whitsundays were amazing!

5.00Luke and Dave were incredible. Despite the cloudy conditions the views were spectacular, waves were great to ride on and vibes were great. Can’t recommend this tour more. They also offer to drop you back to your hotel if you chose pick up
