A l’aller musique un peu forte et le hard rock n’est pas ma tasse de thé. Le snorkling sans intérêt pour un plongeur. Le repas très bien mais dommage qu’on ne puisse pas le prendre sur la plage. Au retour la musique était plus à mon goût et aussi un peu moins forte. Équipage sympathique.

We had such an incredible time on this Whitsundays day trip with our kids. The leading hands were awesome and ensured we had a great time, the food was lovely and the snorkelling was excellent. We also had amazing help when we had to reschedule the trip to a few days later. Would highly recommend.

The bullet was a great midway between fast jet boats and slow sailing boats. Fully under shade cloth made the trip to Whitsunday and Hazelwood Island so much enjoyable. Only 40 people + nice and small and a great range of ages and the itinerary was very relaxed giving enough time in each location A+

Loved it! The guys were fabulous and although overcast and a bit rainy it was still a great day. Our kids (5 & 7) loved every second but dreams were made when they saw a turtle while snorkelling. ????
