couldn't have asked for a better trip! The crew was awesome and gave us lots of information about the places we went to and what the schedule was. We got up early to be at Whitehaven Beach before all the other tourists and got nice pictures. The food is super delicious and there is loads. The atmosphere on the boat is very relaxed and in the evening it's fine to sit around and have some drinks. The snorkeling was great too and we saw some big fish and a turtle! Thanks a lot to the crew for the great trip!
We had an absolutely incredible trip, we were on a beautiful Catamaran boat. The three crew were great, they cooked all of our meals and we were NEVER hungry, so much food! Tim was great, walked us up to the lookout over Whitehaven beach and boated us around to all of our snorkel locations. We were the first at every spot and the last to leave. We had Whitehaven to ourselves for the first part of the morning! Same with the snorkel locations, first there and last to leave. The sunsets were incredible and everyone was so friendly and nice on the boat, it can be as chill or as party as you make it. Only thing I would recommend is to take LOTS of sunscreen and a hat as there isn't much shade on the boat and the Sun is Strong! Also if you have your own snorkel then take it as the ones on the boat are pretty average...but good enough :) This was the best thing we did on our roadtrip of East Australia, would 100% recommend! THANKS SO MUCH! xx
My son and I had so much fun it starting off arguing then ended up a great shared experience we worked out that team effort was the way to go and got to share a fun experience saw turtles and we wanted more there was no pressure in returning the kayak in time as safety was the most important lived it
We had a great time exploring the bay and will be back for another tour😊
Great equipment friendly staff 👏🏼👏🏼
After arriving in Airlie beach during a potential cyclone we weren’t very sure if we could do anything enjoyable. Then we found the kayaking and paddle boarding experience. The clouds parted and the sun came shining out. We paid for four hours in the end and really got to know the wildlife, turtle bay and islands. The Greek goddess instructor was absolutely wonderfully helpful and fun to talk with and helped my partner to feel one with the waves. We will definitely be coming back to find more. We saw a manatee, fish and lots of turtles. It was pretty windy but for two people who aren’t in the best of fittness (as we now realise) it was really enjoyable and worth it (no pain, no gain) thank you very much! We will be back xoxox
Lovely relaxing sundowner cruise. We enjoyed it
What an awesome boat we had an amazing time and we're kept well entertained with steves running commentary, would do this again in a heart beat. Was my first time and I think I like it lol. So make sure you grab a seat strap in and you will enjoy it.
you can see many turtles in the river. Big ones. The yacht is morden and very nice.
Loads of fun and would highly recommend anyone and everyone to come and give it a go.
We had an absolute awesome time
If you have a husband or boys, actually any form of adrenalin addiction... This is up there.... Staff are also very nice and a bit cute.
We rang up Matador as we couldn't believe the cheap price on Bookme! Absolutely well worth the money. We had 2 really good days abroad Matador, the crew (Fabien, Craig and Cal) were all great and the experience was fantastic. Would do it all again and have already recommended people to go on the trip! Do it!
Great experience!!! Weather wasn't good the first day but next day was nice What i liked most was the team spirit you have. I definitely recommend this sailing tour to my friends Thank you
My tour was cancelled because there weren't enough people - so they upgraded me to a 2night tour! It was a perfect trip, the food was awesome and we had many opportunities to go snorkeling or swimming. You could see the damage of the Cyclone - but Whitehaven Beach and everything is still amazing! So don't worry about that. The sailing was a lot of fun and the rest of the day you could relax in hammocks!
I've been on a fair few cruises in Australia, and this is without a doubt the best one I've experienced so far! What appealed to me was the non-commercial feel, run by 3 awesome Aussie guys that really have a passion and joy doing what they are doing. We we're around 20-25 pax on the boat, all in their 20-30s (no family's or kids yay) which connected quick and became a big family and had great fun exploring Whitsundays together! BYO is great :)
It was such an awesome experience to sail through the Whitsundays with such a funny and lovely crew! I'm so thankful of having seen the Whitheaven Beach in the morning as the tide was still low and as there were nearly nobody !!!!
What an amazing 2 days on the Matador with an amazing fun crew! The weather forecast was definitely not on our side for this trip. The first reef was ok - lots of fish but the reef itself has had suffered lots of damage from different cyclones. The second stop was amazing. Tons of beautiful fish, and we've got to meet Big George and Boy George. The rest of our monday was enjoyed in very wet rainy weather with lots of hot coffee. Dinner was served at our overnight stop and we even saw a shark! Day 2 started early and off we went to Whitehaven. 3 h was enough time for tons of selfies, exploring the area, going for a swim and enjoying this always changing beach! Go! 5☆!
Nice crew, good food, and a amazing experience!
Incredible experience, perfect itinerary, great food and the very best crew. 100% recomendable! We loved it!
Everything was perfect the crew was nice and everything was perfect. I talk to a few people with done other tours and now I now matador is the best tour and it was a great decision! Thank you Matador
This was an amazing trip. We had a great time, the staff is amazing and they were always trying to make the most of our time. We went snorkeling, swimming and saw amazing beaches. Would totally recommend it
From the incredible views to the amazing staff I highly recommend this tour! It was a spectacular way to see a lot in a short period of time and I loved sailing instead of taking a regular motorboat. Seriously awesome experience, would do it again in a heartbeat.
This trip was absolutely amazing. The crew on the Matador had a great chemistry and made sure everyone on board had a great time. Kyle the captain planned the trip to fit our needs and made sure that everyone saw what they wanted to see! We saw so many whales jumping out of the water, we swam with seaturtles and manta rays, we saw the Reef and exotic fish a'plenty. Heith the cook was apparently an eagle whisperer and made quite a show throwing meat in the air to them! (Also he cooked delicious meals for everyone on board). I can't recommend Matador and it's crew enough. Thank you so much for this incredible trip that I will never forget
We loved it ! Really enjoyed ourselves. The crew is fantastic, the food delicious and the scenery exceptional ! If you want to have fun, chill, snorkel, see whales, dolphins, turtles, stingrays and mindblowing landscapes, this tour is for you ! =D Thank you all for these wonderful 2 days.
Could not fault this trip! Matty, sammy and Carl were the most friendly staff, so knowledgable and great banter! Asked what we wanted to achieve at the start and made sure we got to see everything we wanted- I wanted to see the smallest sand island and they took us there! Great atmosphere for young people who don’t want party party and just want to chill, chat and enjoy the Whitsundays. Really clean boat, beautiful to sunbathe on top with the sound of waves as you sail along. Sammy made great food with more than enough for everyone- we took snacks and didn’t touch them! They drop you off at the beach to do the hill inlet walk and let you snorkel free while they keep an eye so you never feel constrained by time or typical tour group mentality. Even saw (and heard!) whales, turtles, giant fish and beautiful coral. Thank you guys so much for such a beautiful weekend- would totally recommend these guys!
Great little cruise! Very good staf!
La migliore esperienza fatta in tutta la settimana di vacanza. É stato magnifico. I ragazzi e il capitano sono fantastici. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene.. Ci siamo abbronzati stesi sulla barca.. Abbiamo fatto snorkeling.. Visto tartarughe e aquile. Ci siamo divertiti un sacco. Devo dire che la compagnia di persone con cui farai il viaggio conta molto...ma è impossibile non essere soddisfatto. Lo rifarei altre mille volte. Grazie Sammy Matty e the boss..
Definetly worth it! Funny and carefull crew, experienced captain, try to sail, comfy beds, possibility to sleep on dock (but without mattress) not luxurious but great food (make your own sandwich, spagetti and basic breakfast) nice snorkling experience ans spots (2). We were alone in whiteheaven beach and in the snorkling spots!Like most of the boats, they don't provide fins to protect the corals.
