This was a most relaxing... - This was a most relaxing cruise in a well looked after battery powered boat. You could tell that Dale enjoys taking people out on the water and showing this little bit or paradise. We saw a number of turtles in their natural habitat. Thank you for the experience and we would highly recommend taking an hour out of your day to join Dale on his boat.

Best day - Great tour for people who aren’t great on the water, boat was super quiet and very clean. Dale was an excellent host. The turtles were amazing, best day of my 8 year olds life apparently 😊

Relaxing cruise on the bay - A very pleasant way to spend an hour in Airlie Beach. Remo was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge of the area. The boat is super quiet and no engine smell. Turtle spotting was not too good as it was windy and the water was choppy but did see a small one and one big one that came up a few times. Remo steered us back safely with the help of the marine tug boats after a little trouble with the steering wheel. A surprise addition to the day!

A must do. - Such a lovely way to spend our morning. Captain was a knowledgeable chap and a real gentleman. We spotted 30 turtles between us with a possible sighting of Nessy too. The boat was electric so it was so quiet, perfect for the job of spotting turtles. We all loved the trip. Highly recommended

We had a blast! - We had a blast! Unlike other experiences, this one was not over crowded and there was plenty of room to move around. Our guide was full of knowledge and made the experience relaxing, fun and just an overall great time! It was smooth sailing and we saw lots of turtles and even a possible dugong. I recommend this experience for all ages.

Beautiful boat and great hospitality - What an amazing little boat with Dale as a knowledgeable, humble and lovely host. We saw lots of turtles and Dale told us all about the different spots on the islands and the wildlife. And with only 7 of us on board it felt like a private charter, would reccomend to everyone!

Disappointing - The tour was not as it appeared in the photo. We thought we would be going on a river with turtles fairly close to the boat, either in the water or on river banks. But we were actually in open sea and we only saw the heads of turtles some distance away. We were disappointed.
