Don't hesitate, book Habibi! Best value sailing cruise in the Whitsundays!

Hi Victoria, Many thanks for your positive feedback about your recent Habibi 2 day 1 night sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands. We are delighted that you enjoyed the views, the company and the cruise around our beautiful piece of paradise. Maybe see you next time you are visiting the area! All the very best and Merry Christmas! The Habibi crew
The skipper is full of himself and doesn’t really care about you. We did 3 snorkeling spots and 2 of them were on the same place because he didn’t want to move the boat, and visibility was crap. Whitehaven beach was under pouring rain just because it fit his schedule, while going 2 hours later would have been really sunny. The cabins are really hot and we didn’t sleep anything, had to go to the deck and sleep next to pouring rain once again. Overall a very disappointing experience in the Whitsundays.
Hi Pedro, The Habibi crew are completely baffled by your comments and review of your recent Habibi sailing tour, which you returned from yesterday? To quote your exact comments in the Habibi guest book, where guests can leave comments about their experiences onboard the boat and cruise, under no pressure from the crew : "We would like to thank you for the experience. During this trip we saw the best sky full of stars, the best sea full of corals and the best beaches full of white sand. Sharks and stingrays, it was an unforgettable experience. Despite the rough weather, the group made it incredibly better. Looking forward to coming back to the Whitsundays one day. Love from Portugal" The skipper is more than kind, patient, full of knowledge and local banter and goes out of his way to show our guests the highlights of the Whitsundays. The ships log indicates that you visited 4 snorkel spots during your cruise, but not all guests choose to go snorkelling at every reef site. Summer is our rainy season and you can expect rainfall, ( mostly just showers in January), from January to April. Unfortunately we can do nothing about the prevailing weather conditions, most guests just embrace the weather they are given on their chosen cruise departure dates and make the most of their tour. Our schedule is actually dictated by the tides and prevailing sea conditions so it is not possible to predict the exact time a rain shower will hit, whether at the beach, whilst snorkelling, sailing, at meal times or at night. So your proposition that the Skipper suited himself by going to the beach at a certain time is totally untrue. Yes we do try and be one of the first tour boats to Hill Inlet Lookout and Whitehaven Beach on the second morning of your cruise, to avoid the crowds that arrive off of the day boats from 11am onwards. Most Habibi guests really appreciate the extra effort the crew makes to get you to the best snorkelling sites and beach without the hoards of tourists. If it rains at night, some of the guests close the hatches (windows) in their cabins and because the boat is not airconditioned it can get hot when there is no sea breeze. We have had comfortable thick deck mattresses especially made for guests who would like to sleep on deck or in the wheel house. These areas are undercover and out of the weather, so I am unsure how you were forced to sleep out in the rain? All of the 11 guests onboard Habibi on your trip, including yourself and your partner wrote really positive and nice comments about the cruise so I am not sure what motivated you to have a sudden change of mind? The previous Bookme guests reviews can attest that yes we do offer cheaper rates than some of the other cruises because we prefer to offer our guests value for money, without compromising on quality and the personal touches we offer our guests has our cruise operating successfully in the Whitsundays for almost 20 years and we look forward to showing international guests the highlights of the Whitsundays for many years to come. All the best for 2020! The Habibi crew
