Such an excellent trip. Great fun, great safety while snorkelling. Picnic provided was delicious and my Mum was very appreciative of the efforts made to cater for her dietary needs (ceoliac). Would highly recommend this trip!

Had an awesome day out on the Big Fury. The boat’s fast, the views are stunning, and the vibes were top-notch. Luke, our guide, was a bloody legend with the kind of banter that keeps you grinning all day. He knows his stuff too, throwing out fun facts like they were going out of fashion.If you’re after a day of speed, laughs, and jaw-dropping scenery, this is it. Cheers to the Big Fury crew

This is the best deal on the market: you'll visit Hill Inlet Lookout, enjoy lunch, swim at Whitehaven Beach, and later snorkel at the reef. All of this is in a small group setting, with the boat taking you quickly and directly to these locations—not using a tender boat like others. The Big Fury crew is professional. You won't regret it. Highly recommended!

Disappointing. Book with somebody else this was not a good experience.We booked with this company as it was the last available option in the area and that seems to be for a good reason. There was a problem with the boat and we were unable to go to the usual beach and have lunch there, which is advertised as a highlight. So, we had to have lunch in the boat. The boat is narrow speed boat and not designed to have everyone aboard have a buffet lunch, it was very crowded, nowhere to get out of the sun and took well over 2 hours.The skipper was in a foul mood and was rude to serval of the guests, he was even telling some people that he couldn’t wait to leave the company.Because of the slow lunch we only got to snorkel for 45 minutes at the skippers 3rd choice stop (we stopped 2 other times but after mooring the skipper decided to move on)I contacted the office to see if there was a way we could get some money back as we didn’t get the full experience and she told me it was because of the weather. She clearly hadn’t been informed that the skipper was telling everyone there was a problem with the boat.A poor experience for 220 dollars and poor customer service.

We booked this tour hoping to visit Whitehaven Beach and the Whitsundays, but it turned out to be a waste of time and a huge disappointment.- The snorkeling was underwhelming. There was nothing to see underwater, and the staff were feeding the fish to make them come closer – highly questionable. They started by stressing us on how "high-risk" snorkeling is, but when we asked for life jackets, they said they didn’t have enough for everyone. Totally unacceptable in terms of safety, especially in case of an emergency.- After snorkeling among jellyfish (not fun…), one of the three boat engines broke down. The boat eventually started again, but no information was given to us. We were left to eat the planned lunch with no idea of what was happening next.- When we arrived at the Coral Sea Marina, the staff announced that the day was over, and we were asked to leave the boat. No apologies or clear explanations, just "contact the agency for a possible refund."-We didn’t even set foot on the Whitsundays or Whitehaven Beach, the main reason we booked this tour. Worse still, everything was fully booked for the next day, making it impossible to reschedule our visit.-We were refunded only 2/3 of the cost, which is unacceptable. We lost an entire day of our road trip, $60 that won’t be reimbursed, and missed the one thing we wanted to see the most.On a positive note, the staff was friendly overall, and the high-speed boat ride was fun while it lasted.Conclusion: quite bad organization, questionable safety, and terrible handling of unforeseen events.The least they could have done was provide a full refund. We discourage anyone from booking this tour if they truly want to experience the Whitsundays.

On December 13, we stopped at the south side of White Sand Beach for lunch, during which my friends and I had an hour to swim in the sea. But we didn't notice when we got to the back of the big fury speedboat as they were picking up the tourists and they seemed to be getting ready to leave, and the captain of the boat was a man who was very rude and shouted at me and my friend to get out of the way, and when we realized that, we stopped swimming and gave way to them, and he kept telling us to get out of the way and made racial slurs. I don't know what makes this guy a captain? The whole crew just watched, no one apologized, no one prompted us. I think this guy doesn’t have mom who can teach him what’s the manner and polite. Pls strength your company staffs control, otherwise you gonna breakdown.;)

Absolutely amazing experience. Reef snorkelling, Whitehaven beach, swirling sands, cruising around the islands. I did this tour with my 8 year old son and it was just perfect for his age also. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating. I highly recommend this day trip as a must for a Whitsundays visit. Great value for money too, I’d love to do it again!

We had such a great time on the day tour to Whitsundays, including 3 stops, one for snorkelling, another one to go to the Hill Inlet lookout and then a last a stop for lunch (very yummy) and relax at Whitehaven beach. The weather wasn't the best earlier on the day, but being a small company with a small group, they are flexible with the itinerary so we made the most of it. So it's definitely better than going with big groups. Tristan and Dave were the crew that day and they did a great job! We even spotted some dolphins, it was beautiful.

Can‘t recommend Big Fury! They feed the wildlife (fish, birds) with bread. Theo do it because they think the tourists like it, so that they can take pictures. They also let us snorkel when there were very strong tides. So it happens that so many persons hit the corals with their feet (they didn‘t know they were driven by the tides, head above the water). I think it is really irresponsable to let us snorkel in such an area!By the way, I can really recommend to visit the Whitsundays.
