All Service Operators have the right to provide client feedback and to cancel bookings based off of feedback from other Service Operators. 

Please enjoy your travel experience in a kind and responsible manner.

Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel will treat this as any normal client cancellation and therefore the cancellation fees stated in the Client Cancellation Policy will apply.

Awesome flight experience Cruise should add the hillinet lookout instead of snorkeling for a better experience.
Mark L, 15 Oct 23
Really enjoyed our trip over the Great Barrier Reef, it was a bucket list for my wife and it didn't disappoint. Bit scary going up in a small plane, but after we settled in it was just spectacular. The boat trip was the best way of filling the day after such a good morning experience. We both loved Whitehaven
