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!

Great day out with some stunning views Only negative was snorkelling,, we were not told where to swim to see the reef, a guy on another boat told us where to swim hence some people didn’t see anything
