An Absolute MUST do!

From start to finish, it was full of laughter and fun! Lachy and Luke were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. The snorkelling was amazing, and the day offered the perfect mix of activities and relaxation on the beach. We were also really impressed with the food spread and felt safe, enjoying every moment of the experience.

Whitehaven Magic

Good value for money. On the trip out we saw a load of whales and a huge turtle such a beautiful sight. Then onto Hills inlet where you have a magical view of the reef and great lunch on the white sands of Whitehaven Beach. Definitely recommend this tour.

Hi Jan, Thanks for your feedback about your recent Big Fury cruise, whether positive or negative we rely on guests' feedback to improve our cruise and customer service. The date you joined our cruise the weather forecast was 20-25 knot winds, so when travelling on a speedboat with 900hp engines, along with 1.5m sea swells, you are bound to get a bit wet I'm afraid. We are not a ferry, we are adventure boating and some days it's windy and the sea swells are big making it an exhilarating boat ride but the down side is that you may get wet. The boat ride is no more than 1 hour so most guests don't mind. Again it is only when the weather is windy that the boat and guests can get wet, 3/4's of the time the boat ride is smooth and very calm and dry. The snorkeling location is also affected by the weather and sea swells and unfortunately there is little we can do about the quality of visibility when the weather isn't 100%. Glad you liked the Whitsundays though and our buffet lunch :) Enjoy the rest of your travels and hopefully you have nice sunny skies and less wind on your next visit to the Whitsundays :) All the best, The Big Fury crew

Hi guys, Thanks for your positive feedback about your recent Big Fury cruise to visit the Whitsunday Islands. Unfortunately there is not much we can do about the boat and passengers getting wet when its windy and the sea swells are 2 meters. Most of the time the seas are calm and the boat is dry but you were unlucky with your chosen day of departure. I hope you thawed out and are enjoying sunshine in some other part of Oz :) All the best, The Big Fury crew
