Walk among turtles - An hour ride near the marina on a silent boat above a herbarium. We saw many turtles and admired the superb yachts and houses overlooking the harbour. Josh the captain is very nice and gives very interesting explanations.

A lovely afternoon and lots of turtles! - We took this cruise as part of a port day in Airlie Beach as the 12:30 departure still allowed plenty of time to get back to port to rejoin the cruise. The boat is small which means there are only a few onboard so turtle spotting can easily be done. Whisper is not wrong, the electric boat s super quiet so as not to disturb turtles too much. We saw plenty of turtles in the water and the occasional one that swam near the boat. You may be disappointed if you're expecting something more like a zoo enclosure, this is turtles in the wild so a keen eye is a must!

Relaxing and enjoyable turtle watching trip. - Such a relaxing trip, we all really enjoyed the experience. Dale was super friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw lots of turtles 🐢. Our trip ran over by 10 mins which was fine as on our way back there were some more turtles so we stopped. (dale asked us all if that was ok). Thanks for such an enjoyable experience.
