Real experiences from real travelers
The Camira sailing adventure was the highlight of our trip. The catamaran was so stable and the BBQ lunch was surprisingly gourmet. Hill Inlet is even more beautiful in person!
Booked the Sundowner cruise for our last night in Airlie. It was social, fun, and the views of the marina at sunset were spectacular. Highly recommend for couples.
We took the Thundercat for a faster ride. The snorkeling stops were fantastic and we saw so many sea turtles. The crew was very helpful with the gear.
The small group sail with the onboard jacuzzi was worth every penny. It felt very private and the food was excellent. Perfect way to see the Whitsundays.
Excellent organization. Everything from the bus pickup to the guided walk at Hill Inlet was seamless. The catamaran deck was very spacious and comfortable.
