“Excellent!! Gordo & Katie we’re incredible ”
“Fantastic experience. Two full days of sailing, snorkeling, and exploring. Heaps of wildlife to see, coral reefs in good condition and perfect weather. Good food and great crew. Whitehaven Beach was great — I thought it might be overhyped, but not at all. ”
“Fantastic experience. The crew was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Shout out to Gordo & Eva! The food was great - lots of fresh fruit & veggies, we never went hungry. I swam with the biggest sea turtle I've ever seen, saw tons of amazing fish and coral & even spotted dolphins. ”
