My wife and I have recently undertaken the ‘Great Barrier Reef’ full day cruise with Cruise Whitsundays at a cost of $500 for the two of us, which included one SCUBA dive for myself. From reading other TA reviews we had high expectations for this cruise, but unfortunately it just did not come up to expectations. The three hour run... More

The facilities were great - nice new and modern boats to take us between the major islands of the Whitsundays. The journey was pleasant and fast, so didnt consume our whole day with travel. The booking staff were a bit blunt and rude, and it was painful trying to read the timetable - theres a lot to be said for... More

This service runs like buses except more reliable! All luggage is tagged and taken on and off the ferry for you. All staff are friendly, helpful and informative. We went on a great barrier reef day tour with these guys and couldn't be happier with their service and food. Thankyou

It was end of October 2012 when I took the awesome boat tour to the Whitehaven Beach with the high Speed catamaran "Camira" (meaning "Of the Wind" in aboriginal language). One already feels like in heaven when the impressive and nicely coloured boat sets the white sails under blue sky. Then, a perfectly trained and very friendly crew was going... More

When my fiance first booked the Whitsunday cruise to the barrier reef I was a bit apprehensive. It seemed very overpriced to me and I was worried it would just be hundreds of tourist with their kids and that I would not really enjoy it, but I have to say they proved me wrong! The cruise was definitely worth the... More

My husband and I joined the day-trippers to the outer Great Barrier Reef on Monday. It took 3 hours to cruise to Reef World as we had to pick up guests at Hamilton Island before heading out to the reef. To us, this was merely more time on the boat that we could have spent at the reef but we... More

Cruise Whitsunday was one of the best experience during our tour of Australia. Very efficient everything can be done through their website, you just have to go to Abel Point Marina to pick the tickets the day of your cruise. The cruise to the reef takes 3 hours to arrive.. in the meantime the cruise stops in some islands of... More
