Terrible Experience
We booked this tour specifically to spend four hours at the beach. At the time of booking, we were informed that both snorkelling and the lookout experience were optional activities and had to be paid separately at $29 each. On the boat, passengers were clearly identified with different coloured wristbands, indicating what each person had paid for: • Beach only • Beach + snorkelling • Beach + lookout • Full package (beach, snorkelling, and lookout) To our surprise, after only two hours at the beach, all passengers were forced back onto the boat and taken to the lookout, an activity we did not pay for. We were then invited to get off and visit the lookout without paying, while other passengers had paid extra for exactly the same experience. This was extremely unfair and misleading for those who paid more, as well as for us, who did not receive the four hours at the beach that we had paid for. Additionally, the guides did not use a microphone on the boat, making it very difficult to hear or understand the instructions. Overall, the organisation was chaotic and unprofessional. This experience was very poorly managed, did not match what was advertised, and felt deceptive. I strongly discourage anyone from booking this tour with GSL Marine.

Difficult to reach out people and get support
It was difficulty to reach out people and get support. I called out several times and sent emails, but the responses were always delayed while there was no clarity due to weather problems.

Solid Whitehaven beach day
Best value for money tour around (that I could find!) Amber, Ruby and Kane the skipper were great. Amber was energetic, knowledgeable and clearly knew her job inside out. The day was well organised, with a snack on the boat, walkers whisked off to do that option straight away (stunning view point), lunch at 12:30pm, snorkelling at Chalkies Beach at 2pm, and plenty of time at the beach. Lunch was fresh and delicious, with a snack offered on the return trip too. Free water refills and other drinks for purchase were also available. Great crew and a very enjoyable full day out!
