5.00Great sailing day with super nice crew and good food!! Whitehaven must be seen! Snorkeling was unfortunately a big disappointment, you didn't see anything in the murky water!
Awesome experience

5.00My wife and I went on the sunset cruise last night and it was absolutely fantastic. From the moment of boarding with the refreshing welcome drinks to the food platter. A nice relaxed, not rushed, experience, all aboard enjoyed the experience.The young lady Captain and crew of two other ladies were very experienced and knew exactly what had to be done. They also were friendly , courteous and very attentive to any needs you had. Could not of asked for a better time out on the sea. The views were truly amazing.
Continuing to find the most beautiful beaches in the world!!!

5.00On our last full day in Airlie Beach, we did a sailboat cruise to the most beautiful beach in the world, Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays Australia. The ride out was rainy, like really really rainy! It's the wet season in north east Australia. I was afraid we wouldn't see the beach I'd been looking forward to seeing. But the crew of the Lady Enid found a snorkel spot for us to wait out the storm. And we were rewarded with a beautiful blue sky for our view of the beach!! This beach is even more breathtaking at low tide, but during high tide, it's still something really special!!
Great experience and gladly again

5.00We had a great time with the Lady Enid crew….sailing the Whitsundays and swimming in the beautiful coral reef. The staff were knowledgeable, fun, and kind. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a full day out and not feeling rushed.
This is a boat not a bus

5.00We did this tour yesterday (28/5) because the Hook Island tour we wanted to book was not sailing in our time frame. However, this tour still delivered an experience well above expectation, also just because we enjoy being on the water. On booking the trip, were pleased to learn that Lady Enid has a number of different snorkelling sites to choose from on the day which increases the chance of a fantastic experience which we did indeed have. All the crew were lovely & we thank Aaron, Molly, Sean & Nick (hopefully we remembered the names right lol) for their affable hospitality. An absolute stand out highlight for us was all sails up & coming home with the wind. A very special unique experience for us because it’s not every day one gets to enjoy a lovely boat like Lady Enid. That’s a much deserved five stars from us :)
A magical day sailing the Whitsundays …
