Amazing experience from start to finish - book it now! - Absolutely perfect from start to finish. All the staff were amazing but particular mention to Captain Dave; his running commentary throughout was superb and really informative. I opted to do the second bush walk and Maddie was, again, outstanding. The food choice was varied and plentiful. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

Excellent day's cruising to Whitehaven Beach - It was a memorable day out cruising round the Whitsundays. The crew were fabulous and looked after everyone extremely well. The quality of the food was well above was I expected - very fresh, well cooked and plentiful. The bush walks were great and we had lots of time on Whitehaven Beach. We were all given a stinger suit and therefore could enjoy being in the sea. Saw lots of wild life - turtles, dolphins and fantastic fish as well as an iguana on the bush walk! We were blessed with excellent weather and it was a great experience.

Best big boat! - I am quite a scared person boats and a daytrip on a wavy ocean is not something that would make me happy. Therefore we picked Sealink. And it was everything and more! 0 seconds of being scared on the boat, the friendliest staff, the best views, amazing food on board, incredible information during the entire trip. Even on whitehaven beach they make sure there is a shaded area, that there is water. Could not recommend more!

Wonderful in Every Way - This was the best tour we’ve done. The boat, crew & food were magnificent. Learnt so much from our skipper & crew about beautiful, stunning Whitehaven & the rest of the Whitsundays. This is a must well worth every penny!!
