“A very enjoyable trip. The snorkelling locations were fantastic and seeing Whitehaven beach before anyone else was great. The food supplied was very nice and had good variety.

“Absolutely loved this trip, it’s such a once in a lifetime opportunity and I just what the best time ever, met such an amazing group of people and it was the perfect mix of chill whilst also enjoying ourselves and drinking.

Also adored the crew, Hanna, Meg and Carys were just incredible and always there if you needed anything, I would highly recommend this!!!”
Sail Broomstick through the Whitsundays for Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, snorkeling, fresh meals, and two nights aboard a maxi yacht.

Ben as captain made everyone feel safe, involved and well educated. The trip itself was fantastic and jam packed from the moment your picked up to when your dropped off. 10/10”
Review of the 2-day Hervey Bay K’gari tour, with 4WD driving, Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, beach house lodging, meals, costs, and practical tips.
“K’gari is truly a magical and unique place!! Its rich nature and wildlife are stunning to watch. I recommend exploring it to everyone if you’re travelling in Australia or live here. I loved every second of my trip. The tour itself was also amazing and very well structured & planned. Food is provided, and the atmosphere of the accommodation is calming and relaxing, and it’s also very clean. “Fraser Dingo 4WD Adventures” (fraserdingo4wdhire.com.au) did an absolutely great job, so much so that I would definitely book with them again. Our guide, Mark, was not only very informative (ask him whatever you want, he knows the answer), but he was also…”

Review of Habibi’s 2-day Whitsundays sailing trip, with Whitehaven Beach, reef snorkeling, meals, cabins, tips, and honest value advice.
“We went to 2 snorkel spots and Whitehaven Beach it was stunning. Fortunately we took our own snorkel gear because they only offer the mask and the snorkel. The group of people was very nice but the crew was not very involved. We could helped to set the sails and the two days went by quickly. I took travel medication and was very happy about it.”
