Great Whale Watching combined with Great Activities on K'Gari
This was an excellent tour combining excellent whale watching opportunities with a visit to Fraser Island (K'Gari) and some activities on and near the beach. The crew lead by Carolina, Angus, CJ and Mara were excellent. Knowledgeable and attentive to everyone's needs. Whilst the boat on arrival at the marina doesn't look as upmarket as some of the others and looks more like a dive boat, it turned out to be much more functional and offered great vantage points from all over the boat. Carolina told us at the beginning that we would be sitting in every part of the boat at some point during the day and she was right. Everyone moved freely around and you didnt have to worry about securing a good seat/vantage point which we had to on another trip the next day. From the very young to the very old and everyone in between, everyone was catered fort and well looked after. Highly recommend this fabulous day out
I would book this tour again at any time
The day tour we booked was a direct hit. Early in the day we started by boat for whale watching, the first whales were not waiting. We were on one of Fraser Island’s most beautiful beaches, snorkeling in the sea, you could go canoeing, bathe in fresh water and we saw whales full. The day was accompanied by very good food and a very professional team. No questions remained, and during whale watching we were told a lot about the behavior of the animals. This tour is a must for any Australia holidaymaker......
What you can expect
Discover the best of K’gari, a bucket list destination just off the coast of Queensland and the world’s largest sand island. Perfect for families, locals, and travellers chasing something different, this full-day adventure combines wildlife spotting, coastal cruising, and hands-on exploration in one unforgettable experience. Departing from Hervey Bay, your journey begins aboard a fast catamaran where you can relax with morning tea while scanning the horizon for whales in season, along with dolphins, turtles, and dugongs that call these waters home.
Step ashore via a purpose-built amphibious vessel and arrive on the pristine western side of the island at Wathumba Creek. From here, the day is yours to explore. Swim, snorkel, kayak, or try stand-up paddleboarding in crystal-clear waters, or join a guided walk to take in the island’s stunning natural beauty. Refuel with a classic Aussie barbecue lunch on board, followed by a relaxed afternoon filled with beach activities and a relaxed afternoon tea, as you soak in the laidback island atmosphere before cruising back to the mainland.

Great experience.
We had a great time and would recommend to anyone. Better than just a whale watching tour, as we saw heaps of whales up very close to the boat and then got to explore some parts of Fraser that are difficult to get to and very special.
