Great experience

I went on a cruise in July 2019 - it was great - fun, chilled crew, tasty food, beautiful views. I would totally do it again!

Amazing trips and great value for money

Did some shopping around and really happy with these two tours. Mandrake got us onto Whitehaven beach nice and early, the skipper was really knowledgable and deckhand was good fun. Fraser Dingo was good fun as well and the guide Graham knew so much about the island. The only slight downside was we were told breakfast on the 2nd day was between 6.15 and 7.15, but we got woken up at 5.50 by Graham banging on doors which seemed unnecessarily early and the bread for toast had ran out by about 6.45 Otherwise things worked really well and we loved the experience of driving around the island on 4WD's and swimming in the lakes!

Most Incredible Trips!

Sailing on Mandrake for 2 nts was the most incredible experience from beginning to end. In the safe & experienced hands of our Captain Gregg and his first mate Zac we swam with the turtles, fed the Eagle who recognizes the Mandrake & comes for food, which was an amazing sight, visited Whitehaven beach, & stargazed at night from the deck whilst eating dinner. Mandrake is idyllic for a truly tranquil and peaceful sailing experience with a small group of people. We would go back again and highly recommend this trip. We combined this with the Fraser Island Dingo 4WD tag along tour. Our guide Nigel was fantastic & the trip was an experience of a lifetime!

Tour cancelled day before sailing

They cancelled the whitsundays sailing tour on us the day before the sailing, with no explanation as to why. Cannot comment on the Fraser Island tour as I have not gone yet.

The tour was nice

You get where you paid for. The toilet good be better. ( we just had one toilet) The food was okay, we were lucky that we had a really nice group, other wise the trip would have felt really different. The first night was extremely hot. Would be better if they found a solution for that. The staff could be a bit more social sometimes.
