Had the best day, the snorkeling was lovely but the high light of the trip was Whitehaven beach. I have never seen anything like it-stunning. then had two hours on a gorgeous beach . The staff were brilliant and the lunch was really lovely, all in all a great day and would definitely recommend it.

We had a fantastic day out. I loved the snorkeling, swimming at Whitehaven and the amazing view at Hill Inlet. I would have preferred to eat lunch on the beach but it was served on the boat. We had perfect weather. It was so much fun! Amazing!

We went on Whitsunday Bullet and had the best time. The food was great and so were the staff! We will never forget Whitehaven Beach, the Lookout and the amazing blue ocean with super snorkeling spots.

Great experience, small group, variety of activities, nice team, the sole negative points in my view are the wetsuit (not enough thick for me) and time to Hill Inlet a little bit short to do both the lookout and the beach

I would prefer to go to the Hill Inlet lookout before the snorkeling, to not be wet (pictures). But I loved the experience.
