The Wagner Family

We had a great holiday on Glenfyne {Scimitar 1010} for our 7 night adventure.

The staff at Whitsunday Escape were great from booking to the moment we stepped off the boat at the end.

The local experience and knowledge that they shared helped us tick all the boxes we wanted to on this awesome holiday.

From snorkeling with turtles, seeing whales and swimming with all the big fish at Manta Ray Bay.

It was everything and more that we expected.

Thanks to all the team at Whitsunday

60th Birthday Celebration!

Thankyou Whitsunday Escapes for the hire of Leopard 43 Omega we had a fantastic time exploring the Whitsunday’s and will definitely be doing it again.

We visited several perfect locations swam with manta ray, turtles, fish and coral, saw some whales breaching and explored some walks.

I told my boss how great it was and he booked for next year.

Will see you again soon.

Regards, Karen

The Morrison Family

Thanks Whitsunday Escape team for providing our family with such an amazing family holiday.

The entire process from our booking through to the detailed briefing with Tim and the daily scheds’ was seamless and professional.

Our boat ‘Volare’ was immaculately maintained and a pleasure to sail.

Even a minor issue with the motor on our tender was quickly and efficiently managed out on the water by the Whitsunday Escape team.

We would also recommend Whitsunday Provisioning to anyone planning a similar trip as the food was plentiful and of great quality.

We look forward to our next trip and have already booked dates for next year on ‘Volare’.

Regards, the Morrison family
