Reviews
Wonderful day trip on the big fury. Great weather in March, not too hot. Fast boat ride to Whitsunday Islands. Plenty of food for lunch for a group of 20 people with leftovers. Knowledgeable crew. Lots of great memories at a beautiful location. Highly recommended.
Great trip from start to finish! I accidentally double booked and they called to fix it. Picked us up at The hotel on time. Provided everything including an attained lunch on a beach with a picnic shelter and tables. Great snorkeling and extremely helpful crew. Do it!
This trip was the highlight of our holiday to the Whitsundays! The crew made our family feel so valued and special. They went above and beyond to give us an experience of a lifetime. The trip, activities and scenery was amazing. But the crew was what made the trip so memorable! Highly recommend!
Beautiful visit to Whitehaven beach and the Whitsundays. We visited as a family of five. Booking with Sailing Whitsundays was easy and the crew of the Fury was fantastic. Really attentive and helpful. Thanks for this wonderful day!
