Now travelling with Tallarook I can only say DON'T DO IT, it might have
been bad luck we had, but our boat the PEGASUS didn't want to leave the bloody
harbour, - engine breakdown. So we had to stay in the marina in Airlie Beach for 24 hours, which was a terrible start and on top of it the boat was just an old wreck. The cabins are all run down, actually the whole boat was run down and so was the engine. So we finally made our way out of the harbour, after 24 hours and one skipper later (I think the first one was worn out after us asking "when will we start" since Tallarook refused to tell us what was happening).
Unique Suggestions: Make sure you get a decent boat, if the engine doesn’t start and no one wants to tell you what is going on, get off and search for a different boat. (more info see intro)

Remember that Whitsunday Island is a National Park, if you visit you can`t take anything away and you shouldn`t leave anything either.
I can`t think of a better way to spend the day so i obviously didn`t find any tourist traps (though that won`t stop someone else from finding something wrong) so here`s Amanda.
