Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful experience on this trip with GSL Marine. I would highly recommend doing all three stops on offer. The Hill Inlet was breathtaking! It was a gentle climb with a mixture of stairs and paths, but well worth the effort. The views were absolutely stunning. Next we went to picturesque Whitehaven beach for lunch and a swim. We had just the right amount of time on the beach before heading off for a snorkel. The snorkeling was also amazing. We saw so many beautiful fish the swam all around us and even spotted a turtle! On the trip back we also spotted a whale in the distance. The whole trip did a loop around the Whitsunday Island so we got to see a lot of the other islands. Captain Tony stopped on the way back to point out some of the islands and give us a bit of history about them which was great. The crew were very friendly and helpful and made the trip an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.

Bucketlist!

So amazing tour! Incredible staff who goes lenghts to make your trip unforgettable. The 8 hours goes by so fast and you want to be left there on the island. Hill inlet lookout was one of my bucketlist things. I didn't believe that it can be as amazing as in pictures. It must be photoshopped! But no, it is as blue and white as advertised! And the sand is so soft under your feet at whitehaven beach! Beach time I tried my first time paddle boarding and stood up well when boat crew gave some instructions. Found some beautiful seashells and pieces of coral on the beach. Just unforgettable trip! Highly reccommend!

Whitehaven

This advertising company advertised lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea provided. In fact morning tea was not part of the package. They had tiny bags if chips for $5! We hadn't taken any snacks based on your misinformation, chips are hardly morning tea, nor free as you say.

Fantastic experience!

Incredible experience! Only suggestion is maybe a little more time on the beach to swim but aside from that, highly recommend these guys! Thank you for a great time.
