Great Experience!
Absolutely loved it! Captain Mark and Captain Andrew made us all feel very welcomed, they had great knowledge of the area and took us to some more secluded locations.. the meals they made were outstanding and they gave us the best experience! Would recommend taking extra towels to make a bed on deck but I would do it again ?

Mrs
The tour itself it was good. We were really lucky that we had an overcast day, otherwise we would burn in first day. The way it was advertised the trip I imagined that we will spent more time in places not just sailing for 2 day. We had a stop to snorkel for one hour maximum in first day and the swim with fish another hour. So practically we spent all de day on bord. The second day we had 3 hours at White heaven beach and the sailing till the end of the trip. The food was good. THe boat really fealty(gross) dirty especially were we slept. The pillows and mattresses were very dirty. They were covered with clean leaning but as soon it moved a bit you could see the dirt and feel the smell.FIRST day it was overcast and I spent it out as it was to difficult to be inside. The second it was sunny but not much shade on the boat outside so it was really unpleasant. Inside dirty outside too sunny. A bit of cleaning with the bleach and a cane of paint would do the boat more pleasant. Also to have a lid on the bin would be very helpful. And it should be advertised that you will spend most of the time on the boat and just a little bit on the beach and snorkelling.

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

Great couple of days!
The crew was excellent! Really made the trip wonderful, there are lots of boats but these guys really know their stuff! The captain, Mark, made sure to bring us to some beautiful spots based on the weather and bring us to Whitehaven beach BEFORE the crowds, we literally got there and were the only group there and got our own private beach... on whitehaven beach, unheard of! The meals were simple but exactly what we wanted after our days- thanks Matt! Great snorkeling spots, again, we were the only boat in the area, we really felt like we were off the gri. Andrew was a big help throigh all od it and great to talk to! All in all the crew was excellent and despite the weather we had a fantastic 2 days with guys! Don't forget your towel and water bottle!
