“Had such a good time onboard the Atlantic Clipper! The crew did their absolute best in every aspect: the food was good, there were a lot of water activities (slides, paddle boards, snorkeling and diving, music quizzes etc)... I totally recommend going with the Atlantic Clipper if you want to spend two nights in the Whitsundays!” - tripadvisor.com

“I did the surf & stay for 4 days and enjoyed it from beginning to end. The beach is quiet, perfect for beginners… The instructors are super friendly and knowledgeable. Shouts to Kevin for being a legend and doing a killer kookaburra impression haha. The whole place had a big family vibe… I’ll definitely return!”
