AI summary of 80 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the crew's local knowledge, professionalism and friendliness, along with the quality and comfort of the boats used for these private charters. What stands out most often is the flexibility and personalisation offered, with guides tailoring itineraries to individual preferences, accommodating last-minute bookings and special occasions, and taking visitors to secluded snorkelling spots, remote beaches and quieter areas away from larger tour groups. The most common caveat is that some travellers mention less-than-ideal weather conditions on their trips, though guides are noted for adapting plans and finding suitable alternative locations to work around these circumstances.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
Five of us booked a five-hour charter with Dave and CJ for a friend's birthday, and they even brought cupcakes. After boat trouble the day before they worked through the night to fix it, and we still made it to Whitehaven Beach and a snorkelling spot.
Dave planned our day so carefully on a dodgy-weather day that he kept chasing the sun for us. Snorkelling at Manta Ray Bay was breathtaking, and Dave and CJ made it unforgettable.
An exceptional day with a great host and skipper, the best snorkelling spots and a really nice boat.
A spectacular day. Local knowledge on a private boat is worth it, the spots chosen were perfect, and the crew were professional and fun.
Oak and Eve gave our family an incredible day, professional and so much fun. Our boys, aged 7 and 8, loved their first ever snorkel, and we visited lots of great spots and had a beautiful lunch.
An amazing day on Seaclusion. Great service, a great boat and a crew who really know the area. A must for families.
