Morning/ afternoon tea

The crew is friendly and helpful, the boat seemed safe and stable, and the day was beautiful with favorable sea conditions for the trip. One negative point to consider is that it's advertised that morning and afternoon tea are offered, but there wasn't any. Lunch is a wrap with cheese, ham, and salad, made to order. In the afternoon, only two small slices of fruit were offered. Considering it's a full-day trip, I advise bringing your own snacks.

Don’t waste your money

Don’t waste your money with this company. We did not receive what was advertise. Fast transfer to Whitehaven beach and buffet lunch. It was far from it. The buffet lunch it was 1 wrap with a small amount of cold meat and some salad. No morning tea as advertised and one small piece of fruit for afternoon tea. There simply wasn’t enough food for everyone . If you do book take your own snacks and drinks. They charge $7 for a can of coke be $5 for a small packet of chips. Advertised will get to Whitehaven beach in 1 hr - it took 3 hrs and same on return. The crew are not very experienced except for Mel the host. she was running around to each group trying to give us as much info as she could.

Review of Book.me and GSL Whitsundays Tour

I booked a Whitsundays tour through Book.me with GSL. Unfortunately, the night before the tour they cancelled on us, claiming sea conditions were unsafe. The next day, however, we noticed that other companies were still running their tours as normal. It was really disappointing because we had booked well in advance to secure the date, and this was the only day we had available to do the tour. They did offer to reschedule us for another day, but since we didn’t have any extra time, that wasn’t possible. At least they processed a full refund promptly, which I appreciated. Thankfully, we ended up having an amazing day with another company that went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t miss anything. They truly saved our experience and turned what could’ve been a wasted day into one of the best of our trip.
