The best way to do Whitsundays!!

Published on Dec, 2024

I did a half day tour a few weeks ago and felt like I didn't really get to experience the islands. With this tour, we got to snorkel 3 areas of the great barrier (one wasn't fully bleached!) and swim around the islands and it was just incredible. We were all full every meal and the food was great. We all brought our mattresses to the top of the boat to fall asleep under the stars and dolphins visited our boat at night! Staff was great and I couldn't recommend this tour enough!

Great time! :)

We went a few friends together, the whole trip was just great! Beautiful view, so many wild life and really beautiful snorkeling. Chris and Kiana were awesome! Positive attitude and super friendly! We really enjoyed our time! Thanks for everything!

10/10 experience!

Amazing experience and so fun, great crew members (Chris, Jordy and Will) and fit a lot of stuff into 2 days. Nice boat and good amount of people not too many but enough to meet loads of new people! Great food too. Would highly recommend!

Sailing through the whitsundays

Unforgettable tour together with the amazing crew that made it happen! I was hesitant about the tour to do, but this one was definitely the best idea as we visited all the cool spots beating the crowds and with the lovely energy of Molly and Junior! We spent the best two days :)

Wonderful experience on Matador

The boat was amazing with a nice crew, big up to Molly who made the adventure a real dream. The food was nice and the cruise was a beauty. I recommend it.
