Reviews
We enjoyed our time on Whitsunday Blue. Conor and Theresa both did a great job taking care of us. Thank you for getting us to Whitehaven early to beat the crowds and allowing us plenty of time there. Thank you for making my birthday special too :)
Captain & crew were excellent. Very hospitable and made everyone feel welcome. They made the whole time on board enjoyable! All the activities were excellent, food very good, freshly prepared and well presented.
11/10 - Best experience of my life! Loved every second of the snorkelling and water experiences. This trip was a life dream come true. Special thanks to Jack & Beth who made this trip even more special for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will definitely be back. P.P.S.: Professional captaining & hosting = 100/10, vegan food = 10/10, kindness, knowledge and compassion 100/10. Very very happy!!!
Difficult to put into words how incredible it has all been. Exceeded all expectations. Imaculate vibes, wildlife, food etc. Thank you for a wonderful 5 star experience. Jack & Beth (our crew) made it the best 3 days ever!
