Snorkelling in the Whit Sundays - superb! - The most amazing day - crew were fantastic -really friendly & put a great effort in. The snorkelling experience was absolutely breathtaking - an experience not to be missed. Crew were also safety concious. Delicious food laid on all day & endless supply of drinks. The catamaran was very comfortable and we had a great days sailing. I couldn't recommend this trip highly enough.

Excellent all round! - Fantastic trip all round.
Crew were awesome, very funny but super helpful. Sails were up for a bit, food and drink flowing.
Whitsunday is simply out of this world and a must see. Views were incredible and beach and water was pristine - squeaky sand was an experience! Extra advice when for when you get off the boat to the island: go to the toilet before and take extra water as it was extremely hot and humid!
Snorkelling was class from what my partner told me though it was jelly fish season so stinger suits were on (I’m not a water baby like her).
Definitely worth it for the price!

Wonderful - My experience with Camira Sailing Adventure was fantastic! The buffet was delicious, and the crew was amazing—they were very attentive and made sure we had a great time. The snorkeling was a lot of fun, and the view of Whitehaven Beach was absolutely stunning. The purple boat is very unique and added to the charm of the trip. My two friends and I were all very happy. A special shout-out to the crew on March 14th, 2025—they were awesome! They were also very friendly to Chinese people! We will definitely come back next time!

Best trip in the Whitsundays - Today was the perfect balance between exploring the Whitsundays and relaxing. The boat was huge we were initially taken back by the fact the boat held 70 people but there was plenty of space for everyone if you wanted to shelter from the sun or sit right on the front and sunbathe. The crew were incredible leading us on the view point walk Harrison and Dakota went out of their way to make it enjoyable and to ensure we got the all important photo. After we enjoyed the perfect amount of time on Whitehaven beach. Back on board we enjoyed the really incredible bbq food made by Lily who was also super helpful in getting my mum prescription goggles to ensure she could enjoy the snorkel too. There are so many different tours to do in the Whitsundays but I honestly do believe this is the best one if you’re a couple on a family holiday or going solo. Thanks guys hopefully we can back again soon!

Awesome day out - Lovely boat, great staff, all inclusive help yourself food and bar. Really well organised and highly recommended. The hike up to hill inlet is a slog, lots of steps but well worth the view.

Highly recommend. - This trip is amazing!! The staff is what makes the trip so wonderful. This is the best experience we have ever booked for a day adventure.

Lovely trip but disappointing we didn’t get to Whitehaven. - The trip was fun, however due to the weather being extremely blustery (very windy 30-40km), a bit rainy it was a bumpy ride and wet (but fun with the sea soaking you from all angles) - almost all other cruises were cancelled. Despite the weather and a bit disappointing we actually never made it to Whitehaven as the sea was just too challenging we were well looked after. The was tonnes of food and pretty yummy.
Unbelievably no one was seasick, so it says a lot for the vessel and its crew.
We did get to go snorkelling which was great and we ended up on another little beach which was cute but it was a far cry from Whitehaven. Maybe next time.

Did Not Deliver What Was Promised - I joined the Camira Sailing Adventure expecting a highlight of my trip — a visit to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, which was the main reason I booked this tour. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.
While the staff were generally friendly and professional, the tour completely failed to deliver on its main promise. We were not taken to Whitehaven Beach or Hill Inlet, with barely any explanation as to why. Instead, we were taken to a snorkelling spot that was far from “amazing” — poor visibility and barely any marine life to see.
To make matters worse, the tour ended before 5pm, cutting it short by nearly an hour compared to what we were expecting (most reviews I read said it would be over around 5:45pm). Overall, I left feeling frustrated and let down. For a premium-priced tour, the lack of communication and failure to deliver the advertised experience was simply unacceptable.
Would not recommend based on this experience.
