Big fury day tour, look out bush walk, Great Barrier Reef snorkel, picnic at white haven beach and whale watching 🤍 - We visited from England with friends that live in Townsville. The experience was amazing, you do need a jumper for the boat ride because it does get a little chilly from the wind. It’s a family owned business and all of the staff are so friendly. Highly recommend, great value for your money!! 🤍🫶🏼 the staff are more than happy to take photos off you at the lookout and they all are so funny with good humour!! We even saw a whale jump out of the ocean about 20 metres away from where we were snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef. I sadly forgot my camera for the reef, but I would recommend getting an underwater disposable, the reef is gorgeous!! Thank you so much big fury 🫶🏼

Must do - As a couple we could not recommend this trip more highly.
The beautiful beach at whitehaven is so refreshing to swim in and our snorkelling experience was the highlight of our trip for us, with either of us not knowing how to snorkel, we were both very nervous, but once we got the hang of it, we didn't want it to end! The views from the Hill Inlet are breath taking. The crew were informative and funny. They made you feel at ease from the very first moment. We saw a whale on our trip and were allowed the time to watch it up close and take lots of pictures. It was amazing! This trip is a definate MUST DO!!

Perfect day! - The tour was amazing! Crew was superb and helpful and the boat was as comfortable as it could be on the waves at the sea, few bumps here and there but that's about it. We got to see Hill Inlet, Whitehaven beach and went snorkeling on a reef nearby. The lunch was very good; some chicken, meat slices, shrimps, rice, pasta, potato salad, green salad, fruits and bread. Everything went smoothly and the crew kept the group together. They even helped to get pictures and fed fishes so the ones who didn't want to go snorkeling could see the fish.

Stunning locations | Easy Going from Start to Finish | Good Food | Awesome Staff | Safe boat | Lots of Fun - If you're looking for an easy fun day out to some of the most stunning locations in Australia, which is also really relaxed and enjoyable for singles, couples, families and groups, this to me would be a no-brainer.
An extremely relaxed experience from start to finish. The staff were very well organided and extremely friendly and happy. The boat itself handled the trip out to the islands with ease even with some chop. The locations we visited themselves were absolutely stunning. The lunch provided was delicious and filling. We all agreed when we got back to Airlie Beach that the day simply went in the blink of an eye, the sign of a great experience. Lochy and Ally (excuse spelling) where our staff on the day and were absolute legends and professionals. They kept us safe, had a good sense of humour and kept us well-informed on the locations we went our trip. They also kept us well fed and were up for a chat.
