A very bad experience, mainly due to the weather conditions. I don't understand how you can offer a tour when there's a wind and rain storm and let travelers leave in these conditions. The boat is very dilapidated and old, with leaks everywhere. We're crammed in like prisoners, with no space to sit down. Skipper Dave is mean to the passengers and his crew, and not at all reassuring. We saw nothing during the snorkeling and no explanations were given. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

I had a blast! The crew and the other guest I met there made this trip unforgettably beautiful. We went snorkelling twice and had the Whitehaven Beach to ourselves as Arnold made sure to wake up early and arrive there before all the other thousands of tourists. I’m vegetarian and I appreciated to not get charged more because of my dietary preferences. I learned a bit about boats, sunbathed a lot and just had a lot of happy moments on Matador. Thank you a lot, Arnold, Chris & Gus

Some brilliant sailing and snorkeling on the first day. Dave got us all up to see the sunrise and be the first on Whithaven beach which was really special. Sleeping on the deck was fab and the crew made us great food. Chris and Josh did a great job!!

This was one of the best experiences of my life! The entire crew (captain Dave, carys, Josh) were great. If you are looking for a way to see some of the most insane views around the Whitsundays, this is the trip for you. One night was the perfect amount of time needed. We even were able to bring our mattress up top deck and sleep under the stars with sharks swimming below the boat. Captain made sure we were the first onto whitehaven beach which made the entire trip. Being able to walk around without anyone around, also made for some stunning photos. Don’t forget to bring your own booze, water and loads of sun screen. 10/10
