The sailing and customer service portions of the trip were fine. The snorkeling portion was a joke. Poor visibility, few fish, and 3-4 metres to the bottom = a joke. So much for that!

This was a great cruise. Just what I needed to relax after a hectic trip! Weather was a bit dodgy but guess that's what happens when you go in Winter.

This is one great trip... a 'must do' if you are new to the Whitsundays. The crew were great and made us all feel very welcome. Great barby too!

The sailing trip was really great & such a nice sailing boat! The food was delicious! However the weather really makes or breakes your trip as we had some rain showers. Whitehaven beach was amazing.
