Dane the captain and Luke the decky were friendly well organised and informative. Ample lunch and BYO system worked well as we took our own drinks. Snorkelling was good. Dane even took us to more suitable place due to some on shore winds at planned location. Return trip was a blasted... fast and safe. The boat handles exceptionally well.

The day trip around the Whitsundays was absolutely insane. The coolest down to earth young Aussie guys ran the tour and looked after all of us impeccably. Super knowledgeable about every island we went past and made sure we had heaps of time to swim and relax. The snorkeling spot was so so nice. My mum also sneakily told the company it was my birthday and they organised a cake for on the which is absolutely above and beyond and was so so nice thank you so much. Such a ripper of a day

Such an amazing day with a great crew Georgia, Daisy and Dave. They were welcoming and accommodating us soon as they greeted our Groupon the dock. They were all funny and knowledgeable. They made the whole experience enjoyable and I would recommend to anyone who visits Airlie Beach.

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!
