Whitsunday Blue Review

The full review

Couples regularly ask us for the Whitsundays without the crowd, and this is the boat we suggest. With eight guests there is no rush to get off the boat, no queue for the tender, and dinner is around one table.

The route is the same as on the bigger boats, but the pace is slower. Meals are prepared on board, and on the second afternoon there is a sunset platter with sparkling wine. Drinks are BYO.

It is the most expensive trip per person here, and the details we could check come from the boat's reservations office rather than a website of its own. That is why we confirm your cabin and the meeting point when you book.
