I would do it again if i can. For sure. Excelente guidens,amazing staff. They are really serious, they are the real deal. Thank you guys for that amazing experience.
Hi Matias, thank you so much for the fantastic review and picture. It was a pleasure having you explore the Whitsunday Islands with us for two days, and we hope to see you back this way soon. Captain Kev sends his regards and loves the picture. Safe Travels from all the team at Freight Train Whitsundays.
I had the BEST experience! The 3 snorkelling spots were outstandingly beautiful and we has them to ourselves which really made a difference and made it feel more personal. The crew were super fun and lovely. Surprisingly comfy beds. Food was nice. I was quite selfconscious getting in the little dingy (imagine beached whale) but Chelsey made me feel fine about it and super reassured me. Coming from the UK you have to be aware that Kev is very down to earth and no-shit, listen to him and respect the boat and his instructions and you'll be fine.
I thought do the wrong choice at the beginning but after the second days, I realised It was what I was looking for! It’s not a big compagny like others because the owner has choosed to share his passion with small crew (18 max) and do not offer his deal via tour operators. The boat it’s not big but it looks like a family trip and this is the best experience you can have on whitsunday. I enjoyed my 2days on the boat with them and I can recommend to everyone to do it because it was incredible! Thanks Freight train and hope the best for you in the futur... French team for ever
Hi Florence, we really appreciate your review and enjoyed having you with us for two days. Captain Kev likes to get you to places before the crowds, and there is no better place than Whitehaven Beach for a sunrise! We are glad you liked the Aussie food and hope to see you back one day soon. Safe Travels from all the team at Freight Train Whitsundays.
