AWESOME TURTLE ADVENTURE - Josh our "SKIPPER" was great, extremely friendly and knowledgeable, we learnt a lot about the TURTLES & the MANGROVES. We saw probably 10-15 TURTLES of varying sizes. 1 hour was just enough and with only 8 guests there was plenty of room on the BATTERY powered boat. I'd thoroughly recommend this trip, it was a BUZZ. Thanks Josh we had an AWESOME trip. Mick & Von

Happy turtle watching - I gentle ride across to Pigeon Island in an electric powered boat. Maximum of 8 guests made for a friendly and personal experience. Josh was very knowledgeable and we saw turtles on both sides of the island so a successful trip.

Whisper Cruises, pure magic - We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Whisper Cruises turtle spotting tour in Airlie Beach. The small group size made it feel like a private adventure, and the skipper was friendly and full of great information about the area and the turtles.The boat is electric and super quiet, so you just glide along without disturbing the wildlife. We saw turtles popping up all around us. It was peaceful and scenic.
