Hill inlet lookout( greatest experience ) - Amazing experience! 10/10 Fun on the raft in the water ..hosts were friendly and funny full of energy! But the most memorable thing was Hill inlet look out and the clear waters of Whitehaven Beach...Snorkelling was also lots of fun and refreshing.. bring sunscreen and a hat for the beach Highly recommend My only complaint was that Ieft my jumper on board and I never got it back, rang so many times and stoped in at the office but no one handed it in..so do not forget your personal items on board as others might pick it up by mistake when leaving an take it with them

Fantastic views Service Safe Fun and Informative - We booked the night before for the snorkelling/bush walk experience they had available on experience Oz It was an awesome tour for our last day on holiday in Airlie, the staff were great on boat “thrilller” 02/04/23 Although it was a tad overcast and rained on our bush walk leaving us all soaking wet we still had such a great experience the 2 crew personnel were attentive to everyone checking constantly and doing head checks they genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time safely and help in any way they could to contribute to making that experience happen. They took us to 2 snorkeling locations and they were both very rich in marine life beautiful fish is huge schools They were factual throughout the experience providing local knowledge about the reef and wildlife on the islands the boat ride was smooth on the way out and back flippers and snorkeling gear was in great condition Lunch was good salad/pasta they did have a container of boiled potatoes and mayo which I found a bit weird could perhaps swap it to something else but it was still a good portion size Overall this is an experience everyone should give a go the service safety and location were all top notch Shout out to the staff and everyone that contributed to the 7 hour tour you all have gone above the beyond to ensure everyone was safe informed and provided nothing less then a completely enjoyable day will definitely be booking with this company again.
