Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Captain Dave is a legend. Felt like i was in a disney movie. We spend 2 days and 1 night on the boat. And made some amazing memories and great photo’s. We saw dolphins, turtels, sharks, rays and a ton of fish and coral.

We enjoyed every minute of it! An amazing trip led by amazing guides that put in the extra effort to make it an unforgettable trip. We had so much fun with the group and I would recommend anyone considering going to the Whitsundays. Music, games, hotspots for photos: all in all, 100% good times!

Absolutely incredible trip! They woke us up to watch the sunrise and it was so amazing and the captain got us on Whitehaven beach before anyone got there, we had the beach to ourselves for atleast 30 mins before the swarm of others turned up.
I’m vegan and they catered for me so amazingly, the food was delicious!

Absolutely loved this trip so much, a memory I’ll keep forever, thank you Matador 🧡

Amazing tour! Booked myself and my boyfriend onto the 1 night 2 day Matador Whitsundays tour and we loved it. There were 21 of us in total and 3 crew members on board. There was a lot packed into the 2 days which was great; Snorkelling Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven beach, Inlet Lookout points, Langford Spit, 5am sunrise. The food was great and accommodated vegetarians and vegans on board. Dave was a character but he already knows that. He made the trip very memorable (don't be afraid to give him some back). Not a major party boat and definitely for people aged between 18-30. Met some great people and made memories for life.

Had an incredible ocean adventure thanks to the fantastic crew, especially Captain Dave. Dave had put together an unforgettable experience including snorkeling with beautiful fish, seeing turtles, sting-rays, sharks and dolphins. We also slept under the stars, which added a magical touch to our journey. A special highlight was being the first to arrive at Whitehaven beach, which was an unforgettable experience. When we came back to land, the crew had planned a fun evening with drinks and dancing at one of the local bars. I highly recommend this trip for anyone seeking a great adventure filled with beautiful landscape, relaxation, and top-notch service. Thanks Captain Dave and co.!

Amazing experience! Had a lot of fun with my friends, the crew was lovely, shoutout to Molly for being a rockstar. The whole trip was perfectly planned, we got to see and experience so many things in so little time. Do bring a lot of sunscreen!

We had the most perfect and unreal experience on Matador with the sweetest crew: Dave, Juliet, and Kerris. The weather was incredible, so we had two beautiful days on the water including an unforgettable sunset and sunrise from the boat. Sleeping under the stars on the deck was magic, and no words can describe Whitehaven Beach. We give our highest recommendations for this amazing tour with Matador.

The tour was incredible from beginning to end!

Great team on board a very big thank you to Captain Dave and skippers Karis and Amin! A crossing a little windy but very pleasant and controlled by the crew! Nothing to say about the quality of the services received! Very good food simple and in quantity, absolutely beautiful snearkling, first come to Whitesunday beach alone or almost for long hours and departure at the best timing to leave just before the massive tourism! Superb cultural experience thanks to our Captain Dave; visit of an Aboriginal sacred place cellar with ancient painting recounting and proving the very ancient presence of the first men on this earth!

A big thank you to Dave for his professionalism, his experience, his sense of humor and for sharing his passion with me!

I recommend this experience and this crew to all! You won't be disappointed!

You can really experience what living on a boat means: no fringe benefits, it's just you, the beauty Nature and good people! Really chilling wibes.
The crew really wants to show you the best spots, in the best moment.
Beside food is abundant, fresh and healthy.
The group is small so chose this company if you want to socialise and chat, don't expect wild party
