definitely one of the best days I had in Airlie Beach whilst I was there. Locky and Luke the Tour guides did an amazing job and was super friendly and informative about all the places we visited. they were so chill and down to earth and was making sure that everyone was having a good time whilst making sure everyone understood the safety of everything. they were so accommodating with making sure everyone had their photos and everyone was getting the experience they paid for. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a true Australian experience with two Australian Tour guides whilst exploring the Whitsundays.

Full description

Get picked up from the nearest meeting point and begin your beach adventure. Board a comfortable speedboat and head to your first stop, an idyllic snorkeling location off-shore. Spend about an hour snorkeling in the fringes of the Great Barrier Reef and exploring the area's marine life. Next, head to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Relax on the beach and enjoy a fresh buffet, including salad, shrimp, a meat platter, fruit salads, bread rolls, and wraps. Hop back on the boat and head to your last stop, Hill Inlet Lookout. Spend about an hour admiring the stunning views from this perfect vantage point before returning back to shore. From July to September, keep an eye out for humpback whales as they migrate.

One of the best experiences we've had while in Australia! Dan & Luke were great guides for the whole day. The snorkeling was great and seeing the whitsundays from the lookout was beautiful. Would 100% recommend this.
