A very enjoyable experience with the crew. The beaches were beautiful, the tour was thoroughly enjoyable and the overall experience was worth every penny!
Lovely day with lovely staff. Smooth ride (didn’t feel sea sick at all). Captain wasn’t sure if we would make Whitehaven beach due to recent storms, but very glad we stuck at it because it was a beautiful day and we were able to visit the beautiful beach. One of the highlights of my Australia trip.
