Bringing a truly different type of tour to the Whitsundays, SeaLink’s ‘Big Island Day Tour’
aboard MV Nancy Wake focuses on passenger comfort, giving guests a relaxed experience where dedicated personal service makes it the most memorable day out on the water.
Heather Thatcher, sales and marketing coordinator, is an impassioned advocate for the scenic cruise around the Whitsunday Islands and Whitehaven Beach.
She says that the tour is especially popular with the grey nomad market who like to go at a leisurely pace, and also the families who enjoy the space and comfort inside the air-conditioning.
“It’s all about passenger comfort – quality not quantity – the boat is able to take 280 people but we cap it at 85 so that everyone can eat lunch together at tables,” said Heather.
“The tour is created so it is not jam-packed, and all our guests seem to love that!”
Heather has lived in the Whitsundays for 29 years, working in the marine industry, predominantly as a dive instructor. She says that the SeaLink tour has brought a brand-new offering to the region and that she is incredibly proud of the product.
“I love the customer interaction, making people happy and showcasing our beautiful area,” she said.
Melissa Graham has just moved to the region with her husband and has many years’ experience working in reservations at golfing clubs and resorts across the country.
She now feels lucky to travel out to the brand-new Shute Harbour Marine Terminal every day where she works as a sales and reservation consultant for SeaLink.
“I love making it personal – you are never a number with us, and we can answer any questions you may have,” said Heather.
“We have all the comforts you could possibly want when cruising.”
SeaLink’s MV Nancy Wake can accept wheelchairs and people with mobility issues or guide-dogs. With three levels, guests can enjoy the air-conditioned comfort inside the spacious lower deck, or can venture upstairs to the shaded outside deck or the top sun deck for 360 degree aerial panoramic views.
