Amazing trip! Beautiful Views! - What a fun day this was! Whole crew was very friendly and helpful. Lachie was awesome and hilarious.
Lachie also was very knowledgeable of the area and took us to the inlet lookout later on in the day when the tides were at the optimal levels to see the beautiful swirling sands. We got to see the most amazing sights because of this. Whitehaven beach was indescribable and loved that we got to spend a decent time there! Snorkling was so much fun and I even got to see a massive turtle. The weather wasn't the greatest but we still think it was the most beautiful place we have ever been to and so grateful to the big fury team for looking after us!

Great tour! - It ended up being a lovely and memorable day. The staff were great, but we do feel it would have been better to prepare for what might be ahead a bit better (and in a way that was less Debbie downer) for example, the tide was high and therefore meant we couldn’t see the iconic inlet sand view and we were getting the vibe that it wasn’t worth the hike up - as you can see from the photos it was definitely worth it, so just give it a go! Maybe a miscommunication but it definitely made us feel a little deflated before going up there. Overall, a lovely, enjoyable tour and amazing to see the Whitsundays.
