Leatherback Turtle?

Our captain Warren is fun and competent driving a very fast boat. He made the whole memorable experience enjoyable with few bumps heading to Whitsunday. The highlight is seeing a huge sea turtle approx 4 to 5 feet long feeding not too dip down the ocean floor and the view from hill inlet on a perfect day with tides low.

From Big Fury - Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout and Snorkelling Day Tour

Thanks do much for your positive feedback about your recent Big Fury cruise. Delighted you enjoyed the day despite the cloudy weather conditions. The crew really love their job and it shows :) Enjoy the rest of your holidays! The Big Fury team

Awesomely amazing!

Big Fury is amazing to go on!! It’s a company that only has the one boat and it shows! The tour was amazing! The guys Brendon and Wazza take you to the best snorkelling spot, give you the best tips about where to go on the reef to see the most! The boat is comfortable and fast! You work up an appetite snorkelling and then walking up to whitehaven look out and the best thing is you don’t get a day old pre packed lunch!! Couldn’t rate the lunch any more if I tried - you get taken around to Whitehaven beach dropped off and make yourself comfy in the shade or in the beach while the guys get lunch set up! Home made rice and pasta salad ( which were awesome) and the BEST potato salad. Huge selection of cold cut meats, prawns, rolls, wraps and fruit! Pigged out and could go for seconds! The whole experience was amazing, the guys are Informative, the boat fast and comfy and then food was way more then expected! And then when going to and from the experience on the boat they bring around snacks!! Book Big Fury! You won’t regret it!

Wow what a great summation of your recent day cruise on Big Fury. Thank you and delighted to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your day out with the boys visiting our back yard! Hope to see you again the next time you are visiting! All the best for 2022, The Big Fury crew :)

Tour ordinary

The locations were stunning.. the boat tour ordinary. The boat is extremely loud. A boat speaker doing a commentary would be great instead of staff trying to yell it out & all round us still couldn't hear.

From Big Fury - Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout and Snorkelling Day Tour

Hi Debra, Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback on your Big Fury cruise earlier this month. Although it sounds like you choose the wrong boat to cruise around the islands on. Big Fury is a fast, open speed boat with 3 x 300hp engines on the back so there is going to be some noise from the engines and some splashes from the waves! That is part of the experience and why we describe ourselves as adventure boating! However the boat ride is only a small portion of our day cruise, we offer courtesy hotel transfers, a freshly prepared gourmet picnic lunch served on Whitehaven beach (unlike the other cruises which give you a lunch box), all snorkeling gear and stinger suits are provided for snorkelers and the crew are very safety conscious throughout the day. Ample time to relax and enjoy the views at Hill Inlet lookout and lots of information about the area is provided throughout the day both on and off the boat. We are a small family run business and our crew are treated as family, most of whom have worked for us for years and it shows in their high spirits, enthusiasm and casual no fuss attitude throughout the day. All the best for 2022! The Big Fury crew

Fantastic adventure

What a great day out, Wazza and his crew were fantastic. Being a family run business they go above and beyond to provide a memorable day for everyone. Feeding the fish and turtle spotting at Whitehaven Beach was unforgettable and not something anyone other tour group was offering. Highly recommend you pick Big Fury over any other competitors for a fun filled day
