What To Expect
After pickup from your Hervey Bay hotel, travel to Great Sandy Straits Marina in Hervey Bay to begin your cruise to Fraser Island. Enjoy morning tea on board while cruising across the ocean, past small uninhabited islands and along the coast of picturesque Fraser Island. Keep a lookout for dolphins, turtles and dugongs swimming nearby, and seabirds flying overhead. Arrive on Fraser Island without getting your feet wet, thanks to your boat's amphibious watercraft designed to be driven onto the beach. Your Fraser Island tour reveals the wild and still untouched side to the island on a visit to Wathumba creek. Go kayaking, swimming, snorkeling with the turtles in the crystal-clear waters, relax on the sand or stretch your legs on a relaxed bushwalk. Return to the boat for a delicious buffet lunch. Relax on-board as you cruise to the picturesque Awinya or Bowarrady Creek. Enjoy the natural surrounds while paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, swimming or enjoying other free water sports available. Head back to the marina in comfort -- enjoy the view from the boat's deck or chat to the crew while you enjoy the fruit and antipasto platters served for afternoon tea. Snacks, drinks and souvenirs are available to purchase during your return cruise to Hervey Bay.

Awesome day exploring the gems Australia has hidden

5.00We had a wonderful day. A group of 20 who were all friendly and prepared to share their story and travels. Crew were awesome - kind, informative, eager to assist, and although the visibility for snorkelling wasn’t great on the day, the captain kept searching for a better viewing location. Saw different types of dolphins, turtles, fish and it was a happy and relaxing day. Highly recommended for a great day out.
Fun day!

5.00Very well organized trip and an amazing team! Our Captain were extremely taking care of our safety (we had a windy day, but once we crossed the strait, the water was calm, no panic at all), Carolena and BJ secured the fun for the whole day! The trip is really-really remote, prepare for beautiful untouched beaches, zero other people (only the group) and animals! Cheers for the whole crew, definitely will come back for a whalewatch trip as well!
A whole day pack of fun and activities.
