As an added bonus, during the Hervey Bay whale season from mid-July to October, be on the look out for humpback whales and experience the thrill of getting up close to these majestic creatures as they enjoy the calm clear waters off Fraser Island.
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 and beach fishing 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 barbecue 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 air-conditioned comfort -- watch a DVD, 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.
Fantastic day out to this beautiful Island. Really recommend this trip, great to be away from the hoards and experience the peace and quiet of such a stunning island. Kayaking through the mangroves was wonderful. We even spotted a dingo running along the beach. Really felt like we were on a deserted dessert island.

Great guides and a very fun day out. Lots of nice sights and the places they took us weren't overcrowded and too touristy. Definitely recommend this tour.

Although it was a rainy day we enjoyed this trip! That is how good it was. We set off to the remote side of Fraser and were alone with nature. We snorkeled in the very different waters compared to reefs, but it was still interesting and a lot of fishes. We also loved the kayaking in the mangrove creeks, it was so serene and exiting at the same time._br/_ Very nice crew and arrangements perfect.

Full day of adventure on this trip was great. The whales were very active so most of trip was spent following the whales. We saw more than 50 humpback whales with lots of different behaviors to entertain us most of the day. The trip had a couple of stops on Fraser Island to go kayaking and snorkeling as well as climbing a large sand dune. Lunch and snacks were great and the crew was very helpful. The naturalist was very knowledgeable about all the fauna and flora we saw. Even got to see some dingos from the boat.
