We took a Cruise Whitesunday ferry from Hamilton Island airport to Able Point Marina. Everything was very convenient, the ferry was clean and quiet and right on time. The staff was polite and professional and handled our luggage on and off the boat. They even have beers for purchase on board. If you are going to use ferry transport -... more

4 of us did this trip mid October from Airlie, cant fault it door-to-door pickup and drop off (good when youre staying up Everest!) Staff very polite and friendly. Food and information fine and boat was good. Boy it was a looong way though and when we hit the shipping lane some of us got bad seasickness which for me... more

September 09 ... collected from my hotel on time and transferred to Abel Point Marina. There was a bit of sitting around waiting for everything to get organised, but that gave me time to grab a coffee from the shop/cafe at the harbour ... if I'd known that breakfast wouldn't get served on board for another couple of hours I'd... more

We booked a half day trip to Long Island as a spur of the moment thing...damn should have checked Trip Advisor. I'll write this review the way day unfolded... We were asked to wait at the bottom of the road from our accomodation for the shuttle bus to come at 11.20am, it was a half hour late and it's not... more

GREAT BARRIER REEF ADVENTURE The Reef day trip is brilliant. Cruise Whitsundays picked us up from our resort on schedule at 7.10am. We were lucky in that the water was amazingly flat on the way out and also on the way back, so you almost forgot you were on a boat. Seaflight is huge with plenty of different areas to... more

So what did $190 get us? Collected at 7:15am from our hotel and dropped off at the Cruise Whitsunday check in desk. Wow, I was surprised to see over 400 people waiting and anxious to board the boats Seaflight (Catamaran) and Cameira (Ugly Purple Sailing Boat). I was impressed at how quickly everyone was boarded. We steeled into our seats... more

My husband and I have just returned from a private charter for 6 nights on the Pacific Sunrise with 7 other couples and we had the best time! Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations - the friendly crew, the excellent food, the helpful service, comfortable cabins etc etc! We had only read good reviews before we left and now... more

This experience was recommended to us by a Flight Centre consultant when we booked our stay on Daydream Island. We were better off staying put on Daydream, which tells you alot about the snorkelling at Knuckle Reef Lagoon. Growing up with a family that likes fishing, boating, snorkelling and diving you get alot of experience and exposure to different locations,... more

My friend and I used Cruise Whitsundays to get from Airlie Beach to Daydream Island for a day of relaxation before the end of our trip. On our 10:15am ferry, our bags were mistakenly off-loaded at the wrong island, with all of our clothes (including our swimsuits) in them. The ferry company told us to expect them to arrive at... more

Subsequent to this review been written, the traveller has been fully refunded and the issues and errors that arose have been addressed with the relevant Crew members and vessel Captains to make sure it does not happen again. Once again, we would like apologize to rsr310 for the trouble she has encountered.

We had researched till the cows came home and then booked the Camira with Cruise Whitsundays. It's a big purple catamaran! We had been on a similiar trip in Cairns with a different company and enjoyed this type of sailing. The courtesy bus picked us up and took down to the marina where we boarded the boat. There was lots... more
