Lovely cruise, fairly reasonably priced
Staff were amazing. Bit disappointed that wasn’t allowed upstairs as booked for another group so had to try and take photos through sea sprayed windows with reflection from other side of boat. Eventually allowed to go out back (lower deck) to take some photos which was nice of staff. Morning tea was a bit limited (only fruit and cookies) but the sausage sizzle was nice and had made an effort with dietary accommodations. Also a bit upset that didn’t get the opportunity to access the popular inlet lookout as only full day group got dropped off to access it and the only lookout accessible to us was unattainable during our timeframe

Beautiful day, so easy, can’t wait to do it again.
Enjoyed every minute nice boat ride beautiful beach and enjoyed it doing it again. Beautiful breakfast going twice. Water was beautiful white sand relaxing by the water. Taking all the kids again before we leave, too pretty to only do it once. Best place to visit I definitely recommend it. Lovely visit at Hamilton and easy to enjoy your stay.
Really relaxed
Really relaxed, very organised, super friendly staff that give you the commentary and knowledge about the places you pass/visit and of course they take you to paradise so no complaints. Would definitely recommend this trip. Big thumbs up from us. Thanks for the trip!
