Einfach Klasse Touren!!!

Diese Kombi ist ein super Angebot. Kevin und seine Crew von Freight Train haben uns für den Whitsunday Trip zu super coole Stellen zum Schnorcheln gebracht und es war definitiv ein Erlebnis das Segel zu hissen. Das Essen war auch super lecker (besser als erwartet und auf bisherigen Touren). Die Whitsundays ansich sind ein Traum und mit max. 18 Passagieren auf dem Boot hatte es die perfekte Gruppengröße. Die Fraser Island Tour war auch ein unvergessliches Erlebnis durch das Fahren im Sand und den verschiedenen Stops. Wir haben Dingos, Schildkröten, Haie, Schlangen,Leguane und Spinnen gesehen. Nigel war ein toller Guide, der viel erzählt hat und das beste aus den Situationen gemacht hat. Essen war lecker, nur habe ich ziemlich viele eigene Snacks zwischendurch gebraucht, da wir unseren Zeitplan durch einige Vorkommnisse nicht einhalten konnten. Die Fraser Dingo Tour ist definitiv eine meiner Favoriten unter den Touren!

Großartige Zeit mit tollen Leuten

Gute Gruppengröße; tolle Leute; nette und hilfsbereite Crew; Kapitän hat einen super Humor, oft sehr direkt und stumpf, aber kann auch emotional sein; Crew berichtet von vielen Erfahrungen, wenn Interesse besteht; Essen ist einfach, aber lecker; viele Snacks zwischendurch; Kapitän passt das Programm den Wetterverhältnissen sehr gut an; die Nacht war kurz, dafür waren wir die erste Gruppe am Whitehaven Beach und für 2 Stunden alleine dort; für Backpacker, egal ob alleine oder nicht, sehr zu empfehlen

Review

Die Touren waren beide von der Betreuung herausragend. Persönlich habe ich bei der Fraser Tor gemerkt dass 2 tage und 1 Nacht gereicht hätten, weil man alles "besondere" auch damit erledigt hat. Für ein längeres Erlebnis mit einer kleinen Gruppe ist die 3T 2N Tour auf jeden Fall sehr gut geeignet. Die Freight Train whitsundays Tour war wirklich top. Großes Lob an Kapitän und Crew. Zuerst erschien der Kapitän etwas grimmig, aber die erste Erscheinung trügte. Er hat wirklich Freude an dem was er tut und möchte allen Leuten an Bord nur ein schönes Erlebnis bieten, also einfach darauf hören wenn er auch mal ein paar Einweisungen gibt. Der Humor des Kapitäns ist sehr trocken aber hat bei dem ganzen Schiff immer wieder für Lacher gesorgt. Mit Essen, trinken, snacks ist man fast schon zu gut versorgt. :'D
