Complaint Regarding Missed Tour Due to Flight Delay and Lack of Customer Support

1.00My flight was delayed, which caused me to miss this trip. I tried to contact customer service proactively before the activity started, but I did not receive any response. I wasn’t able to coordinate or resolve the issue at all, and the overall experience was very disappointing.

5.00We had such a wonderful time on the sunset cruise aboard Providence, sailing out of Airlie Beach. From the moment we stepped on board, we were warmly welcomed by the captain and his partner, who were both incredibly friendly, relaxed and genuinely hospitable. They made everyone feel at home straight away. The tall ship itself is beautiful and full of character, and watching the sun set while gliding across the water was absolutely magical. The atmosphere on board was calm and inviting, with drinks and nibbles served thoughtfully and plenty of time to relax and take in the views. The crew were happy to chat, share stories and ensure everyone was comfortable throughout the sail. It was a truly special experience and a perfect way to enjoy the Whitsundays. We left feeling relaxed, well looked after and very grateful for such a memorable evening. Highly recommended.

5.00We had a great time on our sunset cruise. The staff were lovely, and the sunset was very pretty. We were given a glass of champagne and a cheese platter on board, and it was all very nice.
Great commitment!!

5.00A beautiful ride! Despite pouring rain at the start and quite a bit of swell, the crew has been safe at all times and has even found time to keep the completely soaked guests happy for the initial 2 hours. Many event organisers would probably have cancelled the trip due to poor conditions. Not this crew! Thank you very much for that. Otherwise we would have missed a wonderful and later also sunny day , with sailing on the return trip . Great and thank you for this effort . Susann and Günter
