Reviews
The tour itself is a 5 star. Crew is well prepared and top notch customer service. 10/10 book via Sailing Whitsundays. They recommended me which tours fit my need, handled a last minute stand down expertly, got me my refund and directed me to a different company and made sure I went on a trip.
WOW, There is so much to see on Whitehaven Beach, I am so glad I chose the Full Day cruise, getting to explore the southern and northern ends of the beach was unforgettable.
I loved Whitehaven Beach! We saw both ends of the beach and had so much time on the lookout and both beach stops. There is a beautiful lookout as well on South Whitehaven Beach and the water is so nice to swim in. We even had time to walk along the beach and of course sunbathe. I can only recommend this trip!
Excellent trip to see Whithsunday islands in one day. Great service by the company.
