Boat Trip - Great trip, well organised with good food and helpful staff. It's a full day out and take your own mask and snorkel as they don't have any on board. The views are as good as the photos.

HARRY, MADDIE, JOE and MEL - I booked with SeaLink and so know I would have a brilliant day. However the day became even more special. I met Maddie, the true leader of the ducklings and Joe, who always waited for the very last person. Tender Captain, Harry, ensured we were in safe hands, with a ready smile. This little triumvirate demonstrated both credit to SeaLink and especially showed they are each a credit to themselves. Thank you to the SeaLink captain, whose interesting commentary could be readily understood over the microphone, and to all crew. However, my special thanks is to Maddie, Joe and Harry, whose professionalism and goodwill will remain a highlight of my trip. Next, special thank you to Mel, who helped rectify my booking - you both followed up and followed through and for this, I send you an abundance of gratitude.
In closing, Harry, Maddie and Joe - reach for the stars!

Blown away - Hills Inlet and Whitehaven beach are a must to do. The beauty is second to none. you will take a lot of photos for sure. Just be mindful that you will need to be in reasonable condition to do the hike to the lookout decks. About 200 steps, but you have plenty of time to do it. A must to do if you are able. After that we had 2 hours on Whitehaven beach. Most enjoyable, but grab the shade as soon as you can. Sitting in the crystal clear water was very special too.
Service on board for the day was superb too. Crew very helpful and friendly.
Dont hesitate to do this tour. Well worth it.

Amazing Beach Day and Cruise - Fantastic day!!! Picked up by tour shuttle bus from our hotel and returned back there at the end of the day, provided with stinger suits to swim at Whitehaven. The cruise around the islands was magnificent the boat was huge and comfortable all the food provided was fresh and delicious. Harry our tour guide up to Hill inlet was great 😊. The tender boat was easy to get on and off of at both the beach at the big boat. Highly recommend!!! Will be doing again with family when we return. Great value for money.

Excellent day tour! - What a fantastic choice. The tour was amazing from start to finish! We travelled with our two sons and had the most wonderful memorable day. The staff are excellent - friendly, professional and look after everyone on board. They made sure everyone knew what to expect at every stage and were very accommodating. The boat we travelled on was spacious, great seating for everyone aboard, very comfortable and very clean (as were the toilet facilities). The food services were very good quality and again excellent cleanliness. The transfers from boat to the beach were well organised each time with staff available at every point. I think you get the picture by now - we loved it! You get what you pay for but in this case above and beyond what we expected of a boat tour day! We noted that passengers were from babies up to more elderly age group. Five stars and highly recommended!

Perfect Day at Whitehaven Beach - My husband and I had an unforgettable experience on Sealink's Whitehaven Beach Tour, which also included a guided walk to Hill Inlet—a must-see! The journey was breathtaking, and the crew truly stood out with their friendliness and attentiveness. I had a minor injury, and while I didn't need assistance, they ensured I was comfortable and provided the necessary first aid. Sealink’s catamaran offers an exceptional 360-degree view of the Whitsundays, making it an incredible way to soak in all the scenery.
The onboard meals, including morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea, were delicious and offered a fantastic variety. Luke, our skipper, provided a great recommendation for dinner, and Maddy, always smiling, kindly took photos of us to capture every cherished moment. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a perfect day filled with sun, swimming, relaxation, and scenic bushwalking.

Great Whitsundays day tour. - I booked this day cruise based on the reviews it received and was not disappointed. Right from the start it was a well organised group who went out of their way to make sure you were being looked after. Suitable for all ages it showed off the best of the Whitsundays. Views from the lookouts the buffets the beach shuttles all well done. Recommend to anyone who is looking for a good day out.

Thoroughly Recommend The Big Island Day Tour - Thoroughly enjoyed our Big Island Whitsundays Cruise which included a 2hr visit to Whitehaven Beach. The view from Hill Inlet was outstanding. Fortunately we were blessed with great weather which was reflected in our photos! The staff were all very professional and helpful. This was a popular tour so I'd suggest booking a few days in advance if keen. The food on board was OK, ie the gourmet lunch wasn't gourmet but was satisfactory as I didn't book the cruise for the food. Liquid beverages, ie beer, wine and soft drinks are available at a cost.
