Jack Ford, 16 Feb 24
Fantastic experience. Jamie was extremely patient with my girlfriend who was petrified of going diving. He took his time and eased her into it gently. We had 3 great dives and the boat was quiet, clean and served great food. Could have asked for a better trip!
Talia Jones, 05 Feb 24
Spent Saturday on Big Fury! Weather was perfect- sun was shining, humidity was low, and there was barely any wind. The crew were all friendly, knowledgable and down-to-earth. Lunch was delicious and filling. Went to Chalkies for snorkelling and saw a Maori Wrasse and some clown fish. The boat was comfortable and spacious. 10/10, would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable day out visiting the Whitsundays hotspots!
Benny P, 03 Feb 24
Wow! What an experience! The crew were all amazing- big shout out to Luke for being so attentive and enthusiastic all day long! Can really tell he loves his job! We were lucky enough to snorkel at the beautiful Chalkies, which was an incredible spot to visit! Saw a large Maori-Wrasse and a lot of Spanish Mackerel! The food was plentiful and delicious! There was enough for everyone and it was nice to see that there wasn't much wastage too! Special mention for the cookies that we were given on the return journey to Airlie! Both ends of Whitehaven were just as spectacular as you'd expect from the photos! The swirling sands looked particularly impressive due to the glamour weather and the tidal conditions! I will without question recommend this tour to my friends!
India Rose Long, 03 Feb 24
THIS TRIP WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! Myself and my 2 friends were lucky enough to take a trip on Big Fury the other day. We visited both sides of Whitehaven and we had 1 snorkel stop at Chalkies Beach and this was one of the most amazing snorkelling spots i have ever seen and i have seen many! The food was delicious and the crew were amazing. They were all so knowledgeable and you could just tell that they love their jobs. They were only 18 years old and were really amazing and passionate about what they do! Luke (the host) knew everything about the islands and he was so sweet and attentive. Big Fury is a family owned business and is much cheaper than some of the other trips and i feel as though you get so much for what you pay! Thank you to the amazing crew for making our time in the Whitsundays so special.
