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

As I'd never been in a kayak before, I was unsure of this experience... but so pleased we gave it a go. The operator was friendly, polite, & very informative. Definitely kayak around to the bay, as this is where we saw the most turtles. Actually saw more turtles here, than we did during our whole 2wk stay in Airlie Beach. If you're keen to see turtles, then this is the place. Maybe we were lucky on this particular day, as there's no guarantees....but definitely worth a try, given it was a cheap couple of hours!

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

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

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.

Had such an amazing tour! Couldnt fault it. Even though the weather was a bit on and off, we still had a great time! Our highlight was snorkeling and seeing all the colourful fish. Also happy with how they catered to vegetarians and vegans

Truly fantastic was to see the Whitsundays. Amazing value too with meals included. Our crew Andrew, Hakeem and Skipper Mark were super helpful and informative. I did this in April 18 and just again December 19 as i was doing a east coast trip with a German friend and couldnt think of any better way for her to experiance the amazing beaches, abundant sealife and breathtaking sunsets and sunrises this region has to offer. We saw loads of fish and a turtle in the snorkle areas. On the whitehaven beach we saw more fish, lemon sharks (completely harmless) and rays. Cant recommend it high enough. (Looks like my pics loaded upside down, but you get the idea)

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!

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☆!

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 !!!!

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!

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..

Boot war sauber, Crew & Captain sehr nett, leckeres Essen, toller Snorkel Stop und genügend Zeit bei den Whitsunday Islands (morgen früh wenn die Tagestouristen noch nicht da sind) —> was will man mehr! Empfehle die Tour gerne weiter, es war einfach toll.

Captain Mark and his crew were amazing! We were well fed, given enough space to do what we wanted, and saw some amazing spots. Ask Captian Mark about his shipwreck and being stranded out at sea (and read his book before going)! Only downside to the trip was the heat in the sleeping area - having so many bodies in there did make it hot, but we were able to go out on the deck to sleep too (it was nice weather). Sleeping quarters had adequate space though - never felt cramped! Definitely recommend Matador for anyone backpacking through the area!

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!

We chose Matador because they were cheap, but the quality is here ! Captain Mark is awesome, and Samy vert fun ! Very professional for the snorkeling session and on the boat. Just the time stayed on Whitehaven beach As a little too short, but it’s okay. So very good experience

Thank you very much to Captain Mark, Andrew and Jody for allowing me to discover the great coral barrier and some beautiful beaches there. It was a wonderful experience (2 days in a boat, snorkelling...) that I'll never forget.
