Reviews by our Sailing Whitsundays customers

Robin Guy, 11 Sep 24
It was a pleasant half day at White Haven Beach. The boat ride was challenging for those that lacked sea leg experience. Perhaps instruction on where to sit and assistance to get a suitable seat would help their experience. The crew were great and informative. A loose draw was an issue.
Amy Jo, 14 Aug 24
The time on Whitehaven beach was WAY too short- about 40 minutes, and that’s only because we opted out of the hike. Had we done the hike, we would only have 15 minutes on the beach. I was disappointed because the itinerary sent by email said 2 hours. Had I known this, I would have done the full day.
Sarah Sharmam, 30 May 24
The inlet tour was great, the staff were very helpful and the day went smoothly. Would of liked slightly longer at the beach but for a half day trip it was great.
Kirsteen MacSween, 25 Mar 24
Well organised tour, with great guidance for what to do when there! Friendly staff. Lovely touch of coffee and cake after the trip too!
