Great crew - Everything was fabulous! The boat, the crew, the snorkeling, the beach. We missed out on hill inlet due to the tide but a special snorkeling stop made up for it.

A totally unforgettable day out - We had the most wonderful experience yesterday , a full day out on Camira. From the check in, to boarding and then our welcome aboard , set us up for an unforgettable and magical experience. The crew are both professional and great fun. We were introduced to all of them. Nothing was too much trouble and they exceeded in their desire to give us the best day out possible. My dietary (gf) requirements were noted at the booking stage and I was so impressed. The food and beverages were delicious and plentiful. All safety information was clearly described. Then the fun began, we sailed through the most beautiful waters fringed,with islands, we saw whales which the crew were obviously looking for and shouted out so we could quickly get to the best vantage point to take memorable photos. We stopped to snorkel, wearing stinger suits were a condition of going, so great was their care of our protection. Flippers, float aids and jackets and snorkel and masks provided. We were helped, young and older at every stage, then taken out in a dingy to the site where we slid off the side into the cool water to explore the wonders beneath us. It was breathtaking, how lucky were we to still see this beauty. We had been clearly advised of the hand movements to make if we needed help etc. There was a crew member in a dingy nearby to keep an eye on us and quickly transferred us back to the pick up boat when we were ready. That hot chocolate was so good when I got back!! Morning tea was very welcome too. Then off to Whitehaven beach, so beautiful. You can walk up to a lookout or just frolic in the azure water as calm as a pond, or walk along the soft white sand. There were toys and games for the little ones too. Then back to the catamaran where lunch awaited us. Plentiful , delicious, with wine, beer and sift drinks available from the giant esky. Time to sail back after a totally memorable day. The crew were outstanding, fun and informative, clearly love their job. Thank you again.

One of the best tours we've done - What a great day out, the crew really looks after you from start to finish! Absolute great value for money, of course we got to snorkel on the reef and spend some time on Whitehaven beach but above that we were fed CONSTANTLY all day, the lunch was great with an abundance of choices (including the juiciest fresh prawns!) Free soft drinks (served all day) and alcohol (served the whole trip after snorkelling was completed) was also available to anyone who wanted it. All topped off by a lovely cruise back to port timed to perfection with the sunset - we had the best time!

What an amazing experience - Got up early as the trip started at 8.15 am, and the crew started off by letting us know how to get aboard and where to safely sit, they gave us an introduction to the day's itinerary, it was a beautiful day, including in the trip was breakfast and lunch, the people that wanted to go snorkelling were given a safety talk and all the equipment were shown how to be used, the people that didn't go had a choice of alcohol or soft drinks provided and music with beautiful surroundings, it was magical when the other group came back we were taken to the Whitsunday beach, WOW, stunning, we spend 2 hours playing games or relaxing in the sun, we got picked up and on our way back we had a BBQ, also had snacks in-between, we were thoroughly looked after by the crew, they were amazing, we came back at around 1800hrs when the sun was setting, I would highly recommend this trip with the crew, they were all lovely and informative about the surrounding areas which I found very interesting. Thank you guys.

The Cameria - a must see when visiting Airlie Beach - We recently experienced a fantastic day aboard the Camira, and I would 100% recommend this adventure. The trip began with an early start, departing at 8:15 AM, where we were warmly welcomed onboard by the friendly staff. The itinerary included an opportunity to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, and breakfast and lunch were provided. The lunch was not just a simple sandwich but a proper BBQ feast, which was delightful. Our journey took us to the Whitehaven Beaches, where we spent two hours relaxing on the stunning white sands under gorgeous sunshine. This was followed by the return trip, during which we watched a breathtaking sunset as we headed back to port—a truly lovely sight to witness. Whether with family, friends, or as a couple, I would 100% recommend this trip. The staff were incredibly friendly, and there were unlimited soft and alcoholic drinks available throughout the journey. This experience was wonderful from start to finish.

A great way to visit Whitehaven Beach - A great day out with a great crew. Overcast weather made snorkelling visibility not as good but the weather cleared by the time we arrived at Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach so we could really enjoy the views and the beach. Plenty of good food provided for lunch.

An unforgettable experience! A must do! - Incredible! Absolutely amazing! Once we left, we pitched up at a snorkelling site seeing all types of fish and wildlife where once you're back on the boat, they then open up the unlimited bar! Following that, they take you to Whitehaven island which truly is one of the most amazing places I've been to and would highly recommend! The staff are so lovely, the BBQ provided is true Australian style and overall an amazing trip! Massive shout out to one of the crew staff, Izzy from Portsmouth, for great chat and great music!!

Boat broke down but staff made the best of it. - Great day on the water, but the boat broke down and we had to turn around. Never made it past the 1st stop to snorkel. No Whitehaven or Hill Inlet stops. Boat crew made the best of it and kept the day from being a total loss. Received 50% refund. Company was sorry.
