You and up to 35 friends, family members, work colleagues or whoever you decide to travel with are in for the time of your lives! The crew on Big Fury will ensure you have a trip to remember. With an personalised itinerary to suit your needs, you'll be zipping between idyllic spots throughout the Whitsundays in style. Below are some of the activities you can get up to on your day out with Big Fury:
Snorkel with a kaleidoscope of marine life
Explore the underwater world at pristine reef locations including Hayman Island, Hook Island and Border Island. Snorkel with green sea turtles, clown fish, manta rays, reef sharks, rainbow fish and more. Keep an eye out for giant clams and starfish nestled in amongst the coral. You'll have two hours of snorkelling which is more than enough time for you to experience the wide away of tropical marine life. All snorkelling masks, flippers and snorkels are provided for you.
Visit Whitehaven Beach
If Whitehaven Beach is on your bucket-list (which it should be) here is your chance to tick it off! Voted as one of the best beaches in Australia, Whitehaven will take your breath away. The sand is made up of pure silica which is what makes it glistening white in colour. Here, you'll get the chance to kick back and relax. Spend two hours sunbathing, strolling, taking photos and dipping into the clear blue water. A fun fact about Whitehaven is that the sand act as a gold and silver jewellery shiner so you can clean your jewellery!
Hike up to Hill Inlet Lookout
Arguably one of the most stunning lookouts in the Whitsundays, Hill Inlet Lookout is worth the short hike up! Don't forget your camera so you can update your profile pictures with the postcard-worthy backdrop. Soak in the beauty of the turquoise waters, islands, and white silica sands from the top of the lookout. A fun fact (which I'm sure your guides will expand on in more detail) is that that Hollywood blockbusters Fool's Gold (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson), Pirates of the Caribbean (Johnny Depp) and Ticket to Paradise (George Clooney and Julia Roberts) all filmed scenes on Whitehaven Beach below.

If your cruise ship itinerary or departure times change within the cancellation policy of your vessel, we will do our best to assist you in finding other alternatives.
