FANTASTIC TRIP

Published on Feb, 2025

A fantastic day at sea viewing the Whitsundays. The two stops were excellent, the viewpoints on Tongue Island were amazing. The stopover on Whitehaven beach was beautiful. If offered the parasol get one you will need shade, they are like mini gazebos

Whitsunday cruise

Published on Feb, 2025

An amazing day with a great crew who were very informing with their knowledge. Day was a mix of rain and sun but didn't detract from such a great time. Well worth taking a day out of your holiday to do

Must do

Published on Feb, 2025

Crew was amazing, food onboard was great played beach cricket at Whitehaven, hill inlet views to is a must see, stunning day out

Best of the Whitsundays BY FAR

Published on Jan, 2025

My family I spent hours and hours looking for the perfect Whitehaven beach tour for our second ever visit. Our hotel receptionist recommended this tour. We wanted a comfortable and relaxing experience as our first Whitehaven trip was very fast paced. This was perfect for us to enjoy a family day on the best beach in the world. We were lucky enough to have Tash look after us on the boat. Nothing was ever too much for her, even my energetic boys who had a million questions for her. She took the time to build sandcastles with the boys so my husband and I could relax in paradise. Lunch was very well prepared, and we loved the air con especially on the journey back!! Thank you all for a memorable day.

Safety first.

Did the big island tour with sealink on Saturday and it was amazing. We had northerlies which meant we couldn’t visit Whitehaven beach as we couldn’t land safely but we still saw it. Thank you for making sure everyone was safe. I heard some people grizzling but honestly. You put my safety and that of my grandchildren first and took us to another beautiful location. We still saw everything you promised. Food was great but the crew. Wow, they were exceptional. Credit to Sealink.
