We really enjoyed our sailing trip. The group was relatively small so the boat was very comfortable. The sea was perfect and very calm for snorkeling, with just enough wind on the way back to turn off the engine and actually sail.
Awesome day. Huge credos to the amazing, hard working and versatile crew of Dylan, Angeles, & Danielle. All so young but experienced enough to make the day a treat for all 24 passengers.
Our travel agent booked us the whole day sail. The staff were really helpful and obliging. Pick up from hotel. My daughter has never snorkelled before and I haven’t done for a long time but they were very accommodating. We sailed out to the island and were provided with pastries and drinks. We were then were taken over to shore for an hour snorkelling session. There were 2 groups depending on experience. The only criticism I have is that we were not told that we would be staying on the island for a while. Our bags were stored away below deck ( to clear up space) but we had left all our sunscreen etc on board. Consequently my daughter got burnt! We also had no water to drink following the snorkel and we all got very cold. Following the snorkel session, we were shown around the small island. We returned to the boat for a buffet lunch (mostly meat and fish - we ate veggie but nice salad). In the afternoon the more advanced swimmers got to snorkel off the boat and the rest of us had a glass bottom boat trip. We then sailed home. Our lift back was delayed so we walked back to our hotel. Overall a great day
Excellent tour. Not too long getting to the destination and actually sailing was a joy. Staff and the Skipper Liam could not do any more to make our trip enjoyable. Fantastic lunch and we seen so much when snorkeling. Glass bottom boat available for those who choose not to snorkel. Highly recommend.
Superb trip to the low isles with Sailaway. Everything was so well organised and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Special mention to Milan and Camile who took us snorkelling. Their knowledge and spotting of the underwater sea life & corals was very informative. We saw lots of green turtles, a shark, two batfish, clams, Clown Fish (Nemo) numerous types of coral and a multitude of other fish species. Lunch was provided along with AM and PM snacks. There was also the option to do a trip in a glass bottomed boat but we opted for a second snorkelling expedition instead. I would definitely recommend this trip.
Captain Richard and his all lady crew were awesome in the low isles tour. Very informative during snorkelling and island nature tour. A top lunch after being in the water. Super day all round
*** A Once-In-A-Lifetime Disappointment *** We feel completely cheated of our opportunity to see the Great Barrier Reef. Despite specifically consulting Sailaway beforehand about having non-swimmers in our group—and being assured the Low Isles tour was "perfect" for us—the experience was a total failure. ** Misleading Advice & Weather ** A couple of days prior, we noticed favorable availability and offered to reschedule for a calmer day. Sailaway insisted the wind was merely "average" and "good for sailing." However, the moment we arrived on the sailing date, the tone changed; we were told conditions would be rough and advised to take seasickness medication. ** The "Beach-Only" Experience ** While other operators that same week provided life jackets, guided float rings, and hours of reef time for non-swimmers, Sailaway was completely unprepared. If you identify as "not confident," they effectively ban you from the water. In our case, the guide actually removed flotation noodles from those in the shallows, making the experience less safe and forcing our non-swimmers to sit on the beach. ** Poor Supervision & Cancelled Activities ** The management of the groups was a mess. A single guide was assigned to both "swimmers" and "non-swimmers." Because she couldn't manage both, she repeatedly pulled the swimmers out of the water to police the non-swimmers who were only in knee-deep water. To make matters worse, afternoon snorkeling was canceled due to "water clarity"—yet we could see the bottom perfectly from the glass-bottom boat. ** The Verdict ** We traveled halfway around the world to sit on a beach and see sand. We later compared notes with others who used different operators during the same week; those companies provided life rings, guiding ropes, and hand-holding that allowed non-swimmers to see incredible wildlife. Sailaway is simply unwilling to accommodate anyone other than "confident swimmers." Save your money. Book with an operator that actually supports all guests, rather than one that makes promises just to secure a booking.
Hi Paul, I'm terribly sorry that you did not enjoy your experience with Sailaway. Your review & experience are very uncharacteristic. The weather in Port Douglas is quite consistent in terms of wind which is why you would have been informed the way you were prior to your trip. At Sailaway, we provide pool noodles and life jackets for guests who are not confident in the water. We also offer these guests a guided snorkel so that they get an underwater experience in the care of our marine biologist staff members. I cant respond to your other comments as I wasn't on the island with you, however I can confirm that Sailaway is committed to providing a positive & educational experience for all of our guests and I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your day with us.

The area for snorkeling was the worst ever been! The boat the food the package. Don’t do it ! Wasting time.
We are sorry to learn that you did not enjoy the day. Our snorkellers are usually joined by turtles, small reef sharks, and a multitude of tropical reef fish which provide great highlights for the day. Hopefully we get an opportunity to showcase the Barrier Reef to you in the future when the weather is a little more supportive.
There is no off shore walking into water to see fish using snorkel for non-swimmers. Onky snorkeling from shore and off boat. Otherwise, great trip!
