Well-Organized and Scenic Whitsunday Adventure – A Must-Do! - Great day trip to the Whitsundays with Sealink! The large boat was comfortable and well-organized, even with around 80 passengers. The crew was super friendly and fun – Captain Chris shared great local info. Food was tasty and there was plenty for everyone. Great music but not too loud. Loved the optional second hike with Brad at the second stop (Whitehaven Beach) – amazing views and no crowds. Highly recommended!

Perfect Family Day on the Whitsundays - We had an amazing day on the Whitsundays tour! The staff on the boat were incredibly friendly and attentive, constantly checking if everyone was doing okay. We were traveling with two young kids (aged 3 and 4), and they made it so special for them too — bringing around coloring sheets and making sure they were entertained.
The food was good, although a bit limited for vegetarians, but when I asked for some extra cheese for my son (who doesn’t eat meat), they were happy to help — so thoughtful!
On the beach, everything was really well organized with music, drinks available, shaded areas, and toys for the kids. I was a bit worried at first that the boat trip might be too long for the little ones, especially with the extra sightseeing on the way back, but it turned out perfectly. They loved the swimming, the beautiful scenery, and had a great time overall. Everything was really well taken care of. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Highly recommended 👌 - An absolute must if you're visiting the Whitsunday Coast. Make sure to book one that includes the Hills Inlet Walk - the view is absolutely stunning and was indeed the highlight of the trip for us!
Everything was perfectly organised, the group guides were lovely and informative, food was great and plentiful and the boat was extremely clean and well maintained! Highly recommended 👌

Amazing trip with the most hardworking, knowledgeable and considerate crew ! - Super well organised from the beginning. Lots of before-hand contact to make sure that the shuttle pick-up went smoothly. Check-in to the vessel same thing: smooth, super friendly and organised, a young crew member not afraid to speak up 👌🏻
Amazingly beautiful trip around the Whitsundays with plentiful information from the captain along the trip.
2 stops where the crew worked hard to bring guests to and from shore. At both stops guests had the possibility to participate in a guided hike - the crew was super knowledgeable and happy to share lots of interesting information and/or take photos of guests.
The crew was, in general, 200% attentive to everybody’s needs while at the same time working hard to prepare morning tea/coffee, collect plates to keep the vessel clean and tidy, prepare lunch - clean up again - AND to prepare afternoon snack. Somehow they managed at the same time to mingle around the vessel, talking to guests and making sure everybody was happy.
The weather played us a little trick and the beach time at Whiteheaven had to be cut short. Instead we got an extended cruise around the islands for the remainder of the time. Amazing !

Sealink Boat tour. - The crew was fantastic, engaging, and generous with themselves. We loved the scenery and stops. The climb was strenuous for a great view. Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island was incredible in the purity of the sand. I was told that the sand was used to make the lens of the Hubble telescope.

A Trip To Remember for all the wrong reasons - 180 ml of rain in region yet torrent ahead. Rain persistent a lot of the day and sitting on the deck not a good option. Very choppy seas with a lot of people on board feeling sick. Activities were disappointing as the lookout was walking through puddles to get to and visabiry not great. Too choppy to go to Whitehaven beach so we went to coral beach which was a tiny beach and it was not enticing to swim as stingrays swimming very close to shoreline. It was an expensive day out which should have been cancelled by this big company. Obviously money comes first before the comfort of passengers. Very friendly and helpful crew.
