Good tour if you want to see the reef as well. - We went to the reef first ( captain’s decision). It takes about an hour to get there and it can be bumpy. Several people felt sick and were moved to the back ( asked to switch seats with others as all seats in use ). The boat itself is quick, but there isn’t much space to put anything, so keep it light ( towel, sunscreen, small bag at most) once at the reef everything was good. The reef is pretty healthy, we saw plenty of different types of fish, but no sharks, rays, or eels unfortunately. There was a pretty good current, but manageable if you are a good swimmer. After the reef, there was another not quite as long ride to Whitehaven Beach. Here we had lunch, which was fine, and then given a nice amount of time on the beach. Afterwards we took a short ride to the Hill Inlet lookout for the really amazing view. After this it was a relatively easy ride back to the start of our trip. If you can, scuba dive the reef, that is better in my opinion. I have and would do that separately. Then, take another trip to Whitehaven if I were to do this again. That being said, if you are short on time this is a good option. I did it for my daughter, who had never been to the Great Barrier Reef before.

Awesome experience - The guides were so knowledgeable and made sure everyone had fun no matter what their experience level was also the food was superior to any tour I’ve been on. Lots of time at the beach and to snorkel the boat ride was amazing. This was my favourite tour we literally saw everything in a day having the fastest boat made such a difference. We went to a few extra spots and saw way more than advertised thanks to the experienced captain. Things I was worried about were the seats on the boat but they were super padded and comfortable.

The perfect day trip to see everything Whitehaven and The Whitsundays has to offer - This trip was possibly my favourite day of my whole time away. The day trip offers the opportunity to see everything you’d like to around the Whitsundays.
Every stop on the trip was the perfect length of time to make sure you could soak up the views but also didn’t feel like you was hanging around too long, or rushing. The snorkelling on the reef felt really safe and well monitored, and I saw an incredible array of fish there. The food provided was great and the time on Whitehaven beach was heavenly.
The view point was the last stop for us and it was incredible. One thing I’d recommend is sitting further back on the boat if you get sea sick as the sea was pretty rocky for half our journey especially when heading to the reef.
I’d absolutely recommend this trip to everyone who is looking for a day trip to see everything the Whitsundays has to offer.

We had a good time - Hill inlet Whitehaven beach , disappointed at the care given to my partner Fran who stated she was not a swimmer and trying to get of the back deck of the boat injured her knee then became overwhelmed by what happened and didn’t go back in , I would have thought someone would have helped her in as I was in the water ready for her to come in , she did state that she was not a swimmer but felt confident enough with her vest , noddle and knowing i was in the water waiting for her , something to think about on your next outing .
