- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

- hhx2_12Cairns, Australia1,861 contributionsWe booked a cruise with Whitsunday ferry to Hamilton Island.
The terminal is amazing and our checkin girl was lovely. So friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I forgot her name.
The ferry itself needs a renovation. Its a bit rundown. Even the Radoms which protect the radar from the elements was broken in 2 pieces.
Staff didnt explain very well where the swimvest were stored. Everything was over the microphone and very hard to understand.
There is selfserve for tea and coffee on board.
We took the ferry via Daydream island.
The trip itself was great, lovely scenery with blue water. Picture perfect. We would do the trip anytime again if we are back in the area.

- Freya S1 contributionThis boat trip was amazing - I would recommend this to anyone looking to see the Whitsundays.
Alex was a great skipper, with so much knowledge of the sea and Whitsundays - he made the trip really enjoyable.
Max & Melga were the best crew - really accommodating & made the trip really fun and were always on hand to help anyone out. The food they cooked was also delicious! This trip was definitely a highlight of my time in Australia.Review of: 2-Night Whitsundays Sailing Cruise incl.

- Jeff N10 contributionsWe travelled on the Camira Purple Boat tour on November 16th. Before getting into the meat of the review, I just wanted to point out the unfortunate negatives first.
1. When we checked in at the check-in desk at Port Airlie, we were informed that due to strong northerly winds, there was a chance we may not make it onto Whitehaven Beach (the reason we booked the tour in the first place).
(It was disappointing to be informed of this within an hour of departure, as this was the only reason we booked this tour, and so the day started off on a poor note).
*these winds only happen 10% of the year, according to a crew member*
2. During our approach to Whitehaven Beach, the captain told us that they were going to “give it a go” with stopping on the north side of the beach, which excited all of us. 10 minutes later, the captain informed us that they’d changed their minds and that we weren’t going to make it onto Whitehaven. This sucked.
This sounds like a negative review, but it’s not, as though we didn’t make it onto Whitehaven (though we were led to believe so), we still had one of the best boat trips of our lives.
First and foremost, props to the crew who were spectacular, through how helpful and funny they were. They made what could have been a pretty good day out into a fantastic one, and that was all down to how they made everyone feel throughout the trip.
Tea, coffee, beer and soft drinks were kept nice and cold on eskis throughout the day, whilst the food on offer was truly delicious and a real highlight.
Though not making it onto Whitehaven was a shame, the alternative spot of Chance Bay was beautiful (though a bit busy), and probably one of the best beaches you’ll find.
By the end of the day, we were chilling in the sun on a boat ride back to Airlie, downing cold drinks like it was no one’s business, and we realised that regardless of whether we made it onto Whitehaven, we still had a brilliant day out, and that was thanks to the team on the Camira Purple Boat.
I’d recommend this trip and this team to anyone.Review of: Camira Sailing Adventure through Whitsunday IslandsWritten 21 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - GraceElleJonesSydney, Australia14 contributionsWe had a great day with the Steve’s and Stuart. They were funny and provided us with lots of information about Crocodiles and everything in the surrounding habitat. The Aussie BBQ was delicious and they catered for my dietary requirements which was appreciated.
We didn’t see many big crocs because of the time of year but still lots of little hatchlings to see. My favourite part of the trip was the tractor ride around the wetlands learning about the different aboriginal uses of trees.
Would recommend this trip for all ages!Review of: Whitsunday Crocodile Safari including LunchWritten 19 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
