Super day with Arnie and crew

We had a wonderfully relaxing day. Truly a day out, with a great balance between boating, visiting the beach, snorkeling, and a walk to a viewpoint. The crew was fantastic, and everything was well taken care of for our 2-year-old son as well. We really enjoyed it.

Morning/ afternoon tea

The crew is friendly and helpful, the boat seemed safe and stable, and the day was beautiful with favorable sea conditions for the trip. One negative point to consider is that it's advertised that morning and afternoon tea are offered, but there wasn't any. Lunch is a wrap with cheese, ham, and salad, made to order. In the afternoon, only two small slices of fruit were offered. Considering it's a full-day trip, I advise bringing your own snacks.

Don’t waste your money

Don’t waste your money with this company. We did not receive what was advertise. Fast transfer to Whitehaven beach and buffet lunch. It was far from it. The buffet lunch it was 1 wrap with a small amount of cold meat and some salad. No morning tea as advertised and one small piece of fruit for afternoon tea. There simply wasn’t enough food for everyone . If you do book take your own snacks and drinks. They charge $7 for a can of coke be $5 for a small packet of chips. Advertised will get to Whitehaven beach in 1 hr - it took 3 hrs and same on return. The crew are not very experienced except for Mel the host. she was running around to each group trying to give us as much info as she could.
