Bothe Tours are great! The only thing you could improve is to bring more food to the Fraser Island tour! Thank you

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME

Freight Train made viewing the Whitsundays incredible. Wonderfully funny and great crew, meals were outstanding, and of course the reef was beautiful. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to view the islands! Thanks Kev, Ji, and Jodi!

Great value for 2 tours

Fraser Island tour was amazing, our guide Niguel was great and the locations, food and group were really good. Enjoyed the Whitsundays tour too but the captain of the boat was a bit of an asshole (0 customer service, very rude, far off jokes) and the boat was pretty old. The food and locations were great though.

Super Touren

Für den Preis sind es echt mega Touren. Fraser war mega gut, super organisiert und der Guide Scott wusste echt von was er redet. Auch das Essen war immer frisch und gut. Auch die Whitsundays waren echt cool, das Essen war nicht so frisch zubereitet aber das ist auf einem Segelboot natürlich auch nicht so leicht, außerdem eine sehr coole Segelerfahrung, wäre nur cool gewesen noch mehr über die Inseln zu erfahren. Schnorchel Stopps waren top.
