Awesome staff and boat, our youngest got sea sick and the staff where so warm and kind, made her feel better right away. We didn't get to see the Whitehaven beach due to weather, but the backup beach was just as stunning. The aircon onboard was a little stuffy but overall a minor item. Snacks onboard were great, light and appropriate.

The buns and wraps were great for the kids, and th...
