We had an incredible time and would recommend this trip to anyone! We saw so many beautiful marine wildlife along the way - dugongs, turtles, rays and sharks at Whitehaven, and so much more! The crew are amazing too and keep you fed, happy and safe the whole time!

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!

It was truly a great experience. 2 hours simply wasn’t enough. Met up with other couples where we danced , laughed and had a memorable time.

By far the most exciting and scariest thing I have done by far. I went with a group of nervous friends 4 of us all up, we were picked up from our accomodation and taken to the jump site. We each received our own tandem jumper who made us all feel comfortable. The breathtaking views took over any fear we had once we jumped! Definitely a life changing experience that I can't wait to do again!

Charlie was easy to find at the airport, very welcoming and informative during our drive to the accommodation.. 10 out of 10.

Kayaking around in the Whitsunday aqua waters was magical when we spotted several large turtles rising through the water.

The whole crew aboard the avatar helped make this trip amazing. The whitsundays and it's wildlife if are a real gem on the East coast but this was made an even better trip by the atmosphere on the boat. Although no bed sizes were modest this was to be expected when on a boat trip. The food was to a high standard and plentiful. I would happily book again.!!

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

Nice cruise out friendly staff very relaxing only thing was the complementary wine. They should give a choice of a soft drink for the people that don’t drink wine !

Lovely relaxing sundowner cruise. We enjoyed it

It is a great experience to snorkle and swim in coral water near the island, view is beautiful and staffs are very nice. Will recommend it to my friends.

Had a lovely day although not a drop of wind, so no sails up, which meant a slow trip out to the islands. Lovely mix of people. A couple of nice snorkels and swims and a yummy lunch.

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.

It's been a awesome trip. Really enjoyed my stay at the matador! Nice food and super crew!

you can see many turtles in the river. Big ones. The yacht is morden and very nice.

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.

Loads of fun and would highly recommend anyone and everyone to come and give it a go.

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)

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

Nice experience. We arrived first on whiteheaven beach. The food was really nice and tasty. The crew is helpful. They are serious about security on the boat. 3 times snorkeling. Not a party boat, but you can have drinks. Thx

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!

2 days 2 nights in paradise! I met amazing people and saw wonderful things, sunset, sunrise, beach, snorkeling... One of my best memories in Australia

We loved the tour. We had good times on the boat. The staffs were very attentive and the food was very good. Me and my boyfriend were the only couple and even though it was cool.

Nice crew, good food, and a amazing 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.

Great little cruise! Very good staf!

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

So fortunate to be on the Matador, our Skippers/cooks/ everything Alex and Fraser worked well together to give us spectacular sights of whales, fish, islands, snorkelling., totally relaxed Each meal was plentiful , a wonderful experience, thanks again guys

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..

If it was only for the crew and their plans I'd instantly give 5 stars! They cared for us and planned our trip according to tide and tourism (which means we had White Heaven Beach nearly to our-selves) The sailing and all the information about marine life and sailing it-self were great. Also the food was simple but really good. Only reason there's just 4 stars is my subjective feeling that 2 snorkling spots plus a 2.5 hour visit at White Heaven Beach are a little too less for the money you pay. But maybe that's just me. (If the water had been warmer foer the better snorkling experience, the whole trip would have been 5 starsprobably.)
