Excellent tour. Guides were so much fun. Weather was great.
The whole family enjoyed it from 6 months old to 50 years old. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to everyone. Easy check in process from pick up to drop off. Bar on board was great with the music pumping. Skipper handled the rough sea well.
It was so relaxing to listen to music and enjoy the scenery with delicious sparkling wine!
The cruise was fully booked, so it was packed once everyone was seated. Even though it was busier than I expected, I really enjoyed the vibe! Nice music, amazing view and lovely staff! Unfortunately there was a shower and we couldn’t actually get the sunset but it was a lovely evening!

Review for Whitehaven Beach Southern Lights Tour
Great staff really friendly awesome snorkeling locations
Was an absolutely great day out we went on the boat wipe out. The two snorkelling spots we went to were awesome and they were able to take some pictures on their GoPro as well which I'm able to purchase. I haven't been out on another for previously but this tour was definitely better the boat was a lot fast as we got to our destinations are we able to spend a lot more time there. Got some great photos from the inlet and they had some awesome facts as well about the area.
Review for Whitehaven Beach Northern Exposure Tour
An excellent way to experience the best of the Whitsundays!
This is a well-thought out tour that combines plenty of snorkelling time with a relaxing lunch on beautiful Whitehaven beach! Benny, our host & safety officer, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and sea-life on the reef. We had a few novice snorkelers on the tour, and he was so patient and supportive with them! While I think experienced snorkelers will get a lot out of this experience, it was definitely accessible to new folks, too. And our pilot, Toby, was fantastic—excellent playlist, lots of fun on the water, but I felt completely safe on the boat. His passion and respect for the natural wonder of the reef was evident throughout the tour. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough!!
