GUEST FEEDBACK "Best overall service ever experienced. Crew was extremely happy to please and serve. Food was fabulous. Excursions very special, and diverse. Very organized systems for guests services. Crew were almost stealth when not needed and very present when needed. We are not easily impressed but we are very impressed with our stay. Thanks to all." Chuck and Ronda. USA

Crew, Captain and especially the "Chef" were incredibly friendly, helpful, accommodating and in incredible spirits.

Crew seems extremely informative and well versed in the eco environment and the issues surrounding human impact on the indigenous flora/fauna and species of the region......Jeff Linney 12-15/11/07

All crew members went out of their way to accommodate guest's requests and were always cheerful. this greatly added to our enjoyment. The boat is beautiful and the cabins are small but perfectly formed! The food was plentiful and excellent quality. I would not hesitate in recommending a holiday aboard the Whitsunday Magic to family and friends.

Crew were always informative and interesting. Particular emphasis was placed on health and safety aspects of activities also. Crew members were always able to answer any questions asked. Knowing that the trip was undertaken inline with eco-tourism principles in such an environmentally important area greatly added to the enjoyment......Susan and Graham Borland 31/12/07
