Well maintained catamaran with knowledgeable crew. Pick your seasons if you want to see whales as they are seasonal. Saw dolphins, stingrays and cuttlefish. Still a fun cruise and refreshing swim at Fraser Island. Goggles and flippers would perhaps be a good idea.. bring your own towels. Meet the crew on their boat on the wharf not just wait at the Marina. Was pier no7 for Blue Dolphin.

An adventurous trip in a comfortable sailboat, with Peter as a skilled and knowledgeable captain. We got to experience sea cows, dolphins and sea turtles and bathed in the clearest and warmest seawater ever outside the most beautiful little islands. There were no snacks, fruits and drinks on board. Can heartily recommend.

Incredible tour with amazing views, clearest Water & perfect service

This tour was amazing...we started in the morning at Hervey Bay with only 10 people on board. The boat is in very good condition with nice facilities. On our way we stopped at pelican island and west coast of Fraser. We had spectacular views! The team on board is just lovely...we had morning tea with cookies and fruit. They were very friendly and gave lots of information about the surrounding. I can just highly recommend! Thanks guys for the phenomenal experience!
