“Great day with Fantasea”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2012

We had a fantastic day with Fantasea Cruises. The pickup from our hotel was prompt, checkin easy, stopped at Hamilton Island for a couple of hours and then off to Whitehaven Beach. It was a very relaxing day and well organised. More

“Bad customer service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2012

I called to enquire about booking a ferry ticket this afternoon and the reservations agent was completely unhelpful and rude. I was confused about the times of the ferry as I was looking at a timetable I had printed 3 weeks ago. I politely asked her questions on how to get to hayman and instead of explaining to me that...

“Reefworld worth a visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2012

Well maintained boats, great staff make up for the almost 2 and 1/2 hour cruise out to reefworld. The reef was fabulous and had a great time snorkelling. The stinger suits are showing their age though. More

The pamphlet describe a multitude of activities provided by Fantasea Cruises but on closer inspection they are in fact just listign the activities on offer in the WhitSundays, not ones provded by themselves. When considering this, it becomes apparent that the large sums you pay for a 'day tour' actually only includes a ferry ride to an island or two... More

“Fun trip and with a great crew”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2012

I went to Whitehaven Beach by myself because I was on a work trip in Airlie Beach. I was a bit worried that I would be a bit bored and lonely but it was the opposite. I meet a great group of people on the boat and the crew were very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I enjoyed playing... More

I want to upfront that this review has nothing to do with the unfortunate and unplanned instance that happened on our tour. This opinion was formed based on the intent of the trip. Two friends and I took the Whitehaven Beach tour and the entire thing was TERRIBLE. It was extremely unorganized from the time we loaded the boat. They... More

I am sorry to hear that your cruise to Whitehaven Beach did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, due to a mechanical failure on our vessel that day, this has ultimately reflected on an overall bad experience for... More
