Fantastic day trip sailing adventure suitable for the whole family. Those with sailing experience and first timers loved it! Good value for money with all snack, meals and drinks provided. Staff were fantastic organising the tenders to Whitehaven beach and the snorkelling. Best way to experience the Whitsundays.

Great trip to Whitehaven beach and Hamilton Island loved the experience, even saw some Whales which was a highlight. I think you need to ask for people's dietary requirements I'm vegan and my husband vegetarian, we could not eat the sausages at the BBQ, instead were given a piece of bread with onion in it nothing else. At the lunch there was no vegan option, I eventually got a vegan burger and chips which was fine. We paid the same as everyone else to go on this trip and should receive the same value for money as everyone else. If you're not going to cater for everyone let us know, give us a discount and we'll bring our own food next time.

Awesome day, large group 4 to 63yrs. Perfect weather. The Crew were amazing and nothing was too much. Food and drinks all day, was lovely. Very memorable day with Family & Friends.

So so disappointed. Travelled to Hamilton island to experience the reef suite. Booked 6 months + in advance and it was cancelled the night before we were due to depart. No option to reschedule less than 6 months in advance. It was to be the highlight of our trip

the company made it very easy to check in, board, depart, and then return. the snacks and afternoon tea were great and the crew was very friendly. the boat was extremely clean and the beach was absolutely amazing. highly recommend for anyone interested in visiting whitehaven (or what i think is the best beach in australia) for a few hours

I cannot rate this company high enough, after staying on Daydream Island we went for a day trip over to Hamilton Island where hubby left his phone behind on a picnic table near the cruise reception. Some lovely person handed it in & contacted our daughter in Tassie who let us know it was missing - totally unaware at this stage. One phone call was all it took to the lovely lady at reservations in Airlie Beach and they arranged to send it over to Daydream on the next connecting ferry for hubby to pick up… so thankful for your fantastic service!! .. and the ferry trips where great too, very clean, professional and punctual😀

We were originally booked on another tour but they cancelled at the time of pickup on the morning citing minimum number not met and poor weather conditions...we were very dissapointed and moved to this booking as we left the next day. After reading reviews I was not expecting much but very quickly after boarding the boat I was impressed. Yes as others said you pickup on other islands but we quite enjoyed being on the boat as weather conditions were poor it was a good opportunity to see the area. We changed boat at Hamilton Island and felt from that point it was more tour like with the captain talking about what was around the area on either side. My daughter felt a little unwell and Brooke made her very comfortable with water, sick bag and an ice pack, she really went out of her way to make her feel better. She shared information about the island and was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. When we arrived at Whitehaven the weather improved and we had a great experience. The company offer equipment at the beach to use, there was no charge for this or stinger suits, and included paddle boards. There weren't huge amounts but enough to enjoy. On the beach we met Chloe from the company too who was also friendly and informative about the island. Brooke then fed the fish allowing us to see many types which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed and was again informative about the species. We boarded the boat and had a nice snack on the journey back including salami, olives, cheese, crackers and cake. If the weather had been better I would have wanted longer at the beach than two hours but we booked the half day tour so we were expecting that. Overall all the staff were fantastic, but specific mention to Brooke and Chloe who made us very welcome. I would recommend the company and the tour but if you want longer at the beach or to visit the reef then this isn't the tour for you. It was perfect for ourselves given the previous cancelled tour with a different operator and then exceeded our expectations.

we booked with cruise whitsunday to do a half day Whitehaven beach tour in early July. We booked on the Wednesday of our stay for a Thursday half day trip and on the Wednesday night 3 members of our family became violently ill with food poisoning. We were told we could reschedule within a 5 day period but if we cancelled we lost our money ($500) but would be refused entry on the boat under health regulations if we tried to go. We rescheduled for the Friday. By 11am Friday we were still unwell and cancelled our tour. We tried to compromise with cruise whitsunday to get our money refunded but the took our $500 and ran. Absolutely disgusting service, no compassion under extreme circumstances and Absolutely no willingness to compromise. Never again.

It is more than half a day from Airlie. You change boats at Hamilton Island. Boats are comfy. Took quite a long time for the one tender to take us off big boat to Whitehaven Beach. Suggest making sure you get on the first one, I was on the last and therefore didn’t get as much time on the beach/swim. They need a better system for providing afternoon tea. People pushed in for seconds before everyone had a chance at a first go.

We had the most wonderful experience yesterday , a full day out on Camira. From the check in, to boarding and then our welcome aboard , set us up for an unforgettable and magical experience. The crew are both professional and great fun. We were introduced to all of them. Nothing was too much trouble and they exceeded in their desire to give us the best day out possible. My dietary (gf) requirements were noted at the booking stage and I was so impressed. The food and beverages were delicious and plentiful. All safety information was clearly described. Then the fun began, we sailed through the most beautiful waters fringed,with islands, we saw whales which the crew were obviously looking for and shouted out so we could quickly get to the best vantage point to take memorable photos. We stopped to snorkel, wearing stinger suits were a condition of going, so great was their care of our protection. Flippers, float aids and jackets and snorkel and masks provided. We were helped, young and older at every stage, then taken out in a dingy to the site where we slid off the side into the cool water to explore the wonders beneath us. It was breathtaking, how lucky were we to still see this beauty. We had been clearly advised of the hand movements to make if we needed help etc. There was a crew member in a dingy nearby to keep an eye on us and quickly transferred us back to the pick up boat when we were ready. That hot chocolate was so good when I got back!! Morning tea was very welcome too. Then off to Whitehaven beach, so beautiful. You can walk up to a lookout or just frolic in the azure water as calm as a pond, or walk along the soft white sand. There were toys and games for the little ones too. Then back to the catamaran where lunch awaited us. Plentiful , delicious, with wine, beer and sift drinks available from the giant esky. Time to sail back after a totally memorable day. The crew were outstanding, fun and informative, clearly love their job. Thank you again.

To preface, I didn’t get to experience this adventure, this is a review on my experience trying to enjoy it. I was SO excited for this experience, it looked awesome. I booked on trip advisor for 1 and was declined by the company with no response why. I tried again, again the tour was declined and cancelled (probably bc I’m 1?) Apparently I’m quite relentless and tried again through a 3rd company and yay, it went through. Except I forgot with all of the things going on planning travel, getting business and affairs in order and actually getting out there (I’m from the US so this was a massive 3 week work and play trip with a lot to organize around it). I didn’t receive any reminders so I just thought it was not meant to be and I was sad but went on enjoying other incredible experiences (if you’re in Whitsundays, def check out ocean raft company!! SO GOOD) Until I got a voice message from them they were boarding in 10 minutes and I was about to miss it / missed it. I was deeply upset so tried my best to see if I could reschedule until the next day (tomorrow) because they had openings. The person on the phone was pretty rude and not a lot of help. The woman I met in person was kind but the manager she consulted said they have availability but I have to talk to my tour company I booked through (get your guide) who also tried calling to help reschedule and they were again denied because even though they have availability tomorrow (quite a bit according to their booking site) they don’t offer last minute reschedules/rebooking under any circumstance. I’m very disappointed in my experience trying to resolve this although I know it was my ultimate error. I wish I’d known more was I was denied the first two times (likely Bc I’m 1 person) and why I couldn’t be rescheduled for 1 person on a day with availability. Instead tossed out and written off with a big financial loss. Total bummer.

We loved the journey on the Camira especially the fact we were able to do some whale watching along the way. The food supplied was delicious!

What a wonderful experience at Reefsleep. To wake up to a stunning sunrise over the reef after a fantastic night at reefsleep is truly magical. Shout out to Dan (who booked the helicopter) , Calum and Rob (Diving) and Grace at Reefsleep). Food/drink exceptional

Got up early as the trip started at 8.15 am, and the crew started off by letting us know how to get aboard and where to safely sit, they gave us an introduction to the day's itinerary, it was a beautiful day, including in the trip was breakfast and lunch, the people that wanted to go snorkelling were given a safety talk and all the equipment were shown how to be used, the people that didn't go had a choice of alcohol or soft drinks provided and music with beautiful surroundings, it was magical when the other group came back we were taken to the Whitsunday beach, WOW, stunning, we spend 2 hours playing games or relaxing in the sun, we got picked up and on our way back we had a BBQ, also had snacks in-between, we were thoroughly looked after by the crew, they were amazing, we came back at around 1800hrs when the sun was setting, I would highly recommend this trip with the crew, they were all lovely and informative about the surrounding areas which I found very interesting. Thank you guys.

A must do! We had to most memorable 2 days, a holiday of a lifetime! We couldn’t fault a thing at all. It was the highlight of our Australian trip so far. The staff are excellent, they can’t do enough for you. Being able to sleep under the stars and wake up to a beautiful sunrise was amazing. Once the day guests leave, you have the whole Pontoon to yourself. You certainly won’t go hungry, plenty of food and all drinks included from the moment you leave Airlie Beach. We did the Scuba Diving and the Heli Tour, both worth every penny. The dive team are so patient and lovely. They put you at ease. We saw hundreds of different fish. The Heli you get to fly over Heart Reef. The whole experience really is amazing
