Whitsunday Bullet Day Trip - Whitehaven Beach and Snorkelling

Was ok thought the crew where inexperienced but over all was ok would like to try another company when we come back

Disappointing not what we expected from how it was advertised. Crew were friendly but very laddish, so would appeal to younger passengers but perhaps not the trip for more senior members of the public. We felt that the safety checks were lacking (see below for details) Trip out to Whitsunday island and Whitehaven beach was spoilt for us by being blasted with loud grunge music. Commentary on sights as we passed them was almost non existent which in our view would have been much more appropriate as that's what the trip is about... seeing the sights. Please note that not the normal lycra lightweight stinger suits are provided by this company. The one's provided are very thick and heavy wet suits. For us this impeded the enjoyment of snorkelling and swimming as they became even heavier in the water. 1st stop - whitehaven beach hill inlet walk - Safety an issue. Views stunning and worth the walk. However, groups were allowed to go off on their own on the walk and then go down to Betty's beach unaccompanied if they wanted. Would have been nice to have an actual guided talk with commentary - we joined Whitsundays Tour to get this!! 1 staff member did go up with the last group only - don't know if he gave any talk?. Safety an issue, as staff were not attentive to groups, so If someone had fallen or wandered off, staff would have no idea of their location on the island as there were no head tally checks until returning to the beach to get back to the main boat. Staff had no communication method with them to relay an accidents back to base. We also felt that the company lacked cultural awareness by allowing male access to Betty's beach, which we understood to be an aboriginal female only beach as this is a berthing beach for them. 2nd stop Whitehaven beach - No sun shade provided by the company or tap water. Esky was available charged. Paddleboards were very old and needed better inflation. Wetsuits spoilt the enjoyment of the water as too thick, heavy and hot. 3rd stop - Small reef with soft coral and great fish. Good snorkelling here. Probably best part of the day. Food - Take plenty ofextra water and food with you! Don't expect morning and afternoon tea as advertised. Boat doesn't have any hot water facilities - even though this could be solved with thermos type large flasks. Free water on the boat was undrinkable but drinks available to purchase. Morning Tea = small 1.5 inch brownie square no drink of any sort provided Lunch= ok small buffet no drinks Afternoon tea = 4 squares of fruit on a skewer no drink Luckily we had also done this trip with a different company and had a fabulous day. Shame this trip didn't live up to the same standard. On the plus side, weather was great and we managed to see the beach at different light from our previous trip so got some additional photo's.

We had an amazing day, the guides had great vibes and energy. Awesome experience, the food was excellent with a lot of variety!

The crew were fantastic, they created an enjoyable environment that really added to the day. Would highly recommend this trip for anyone who has yet to visit Whitehaven.

The whole experience was amazing! The beaches are incredible! The crew was great. Only note I would make is to bring snacks. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea is provided but I would still recommend you being your own as well.

Awesome! Absolutely amazing day ever couldn’t fault it at all , experience, good , crew all excellent!

The whole thing from start to end Even though it was a little overcast it will still awesome Thank you Whitsundays bullet

The skipper did a great job navigating the waves home, nature gave us a shower and the entertainment continued. Heaps of laughter had

Such an awesome day experience, Luke, Reece and Jamie were awesome to be on the boat with and the activities were well organised and lots of fun! To top it off they food was fresh and delicious and you could buy beer! I would totally recommend

The staff were really keen to share their knowledge and make sure everyone had a great time. We got to spend enough time at each of our destinations to enjoy it and relax as well.
