Nice Boattrip

I had a great time on board the Freight Train with very nice and funny crew members, good program and amazing food. The size of the group (16 people) is just about right, we could all sleep in beds downstairs and chill on the deck during the day. The snorkeling was beautiful and we made the best out of everything. I can definitely recommend it.

Fantastic Sailing tour

It was an amazing trip. Not at all touristic. We were the first group on the beach and we had a great sailing trip.

and Fraser Island Tag Along Tour combo

Freight train 2day 1night whitsunday tour: Great tour in a small group of 18 people. Kev showed us some cool spots, besides famous Whitehaven beach. Lovely crew and good food. Fraser Island 2day 1night tag along: We've been driving around the island in 4WD cars, in groups of 7 people. Driving the car on the beach was great fun. Entertaining and skilled tour guide.
