Super day with Arnie and crew

We had a wonderfully relaxing day. Truly a day out, with a great balance between boating, visiting the beach, snorkeling, and a walk to a viewpoint. The crew was fantastic, and everything was well taken care of for our 2-year-old son as well. We really enjoyed it.

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.

You get what you pay for.

The Whitsundays, especially Whitehaven beach are spectacular no matter how you travel. Choose carefully the operator you go with, pay that little bit extra to ensure you are receiving an experience which meets your expectations. I will never speak poorly of an operator as we all have off days, but will not rebook with these guys. Staff were friendly and accommodating and worked best with what they had.
