Share LinkA relaxing, delightful and informative tour
A wonderful tour with an easygoing knowledgeable crew. It was beautiful out on the water, we went to a delightful little island that you could walk around in 5 minutes. Snorkeled over some live coral. Had a chicken and salad wrap for lunch. To top it all of Travis sang a welcome song in his local tribal language and played and taught us about the didgeridoo. A delightful day

We had the best time on the turtle discovery tour. The crew were super friendly and knowledgeable And happy to answer any questions we had. Visibility and conditions weren’t great for snorkeling but We still jumped in and had a go. All Snorkeling gear was provided at no additional cost. Lunch and afternoon tea were provided . Stopped and had an explore on round island where we were treated to a traditional aboriginal welcome and didgeridoo demonstration. The wildlife did not disappoint with 4 turtle sightings and 3 pods of dolphins. Would recommend going on this tour.

Share LinkMy Surprise 60th Birthday
Daughter, Rebecca Fitzgerald, booked this day for me, including my husband. WOW what a huge and lovely surprise. Crew were so very friendly and caring. I have a problem with my back and knees yet nothing was too much for them to help. They went out of their way to help me off and on the boat. The day was so very informative, far from boring, was enlightening. A small group of 16, plus 4 crew floating around the Bay. Was wonderful to swim in the waters shared by reef sharks, manta rays, turtles, dolphins. Those who snorkeled were so happy to see so much coral back in the bay. Sadly didn't see any dugongs this trip, but will be back to try again. Lunch was lovely. There was an Indigenous 'welcome', which included the history of the area and insight into the years that created this Marine Park. I was made to feel so special and had a 'traditional' Happy Birthday "message. Will definitely be back and am recommending this trip to all our family and friends who are going to Hervey Bay, including those who live there. Thank you for an awesome day on the bay and a magical 60th Birthday I will never forget.

Hi Elizabeth, It is a shame that your tour did not meet your expectations. We always enjoy taking the tour and it will only be changed due to weather or maintenance. On Round Island there is a drop toilet and there are lots and lots of trees, so I'm unsure of your comment of minimal shade., The swimming options there are fantastic so I'm unsure as to why the other passenger didn't swim, the waters are ideal for swimming and is crystal clear. Maybe he/she decided it was too cool to swim? Upon checking the weather, it was a northerly at 10 knots. Kind regards, Jacqui
