Loved it - I especially liked that our captain changed what we were doing to optimize the weather conditions, and to ensure as much as possible that we were the only ones there. Food was great and very plentiful! Would highly recommend as a relaxing way to see the highlights of the Whitsundays
Amazing trip, boat and crew were brilliant =)
Trip of a lifetime!
10/10 Really enjoyed my time on Powerplay
