Amazing Turtle spotting experience
Had a great time experiencing the turtle spotting. Josh was amazing.
Turtle spotting
A very enjoyable relaxing tour of the bay with commentary from Josh who was very informative and friendly. Saw around 4 turtles, hadn’t realised how fast they are! Loved the quiet electric boat, was perfect for turtle spotting. Karen and Steve
What you can expect
Step aboard the only electric boat in the Whitsundays on this unique and environmentally responsible turtle-spotting cruise. This eight-passenger vessel is fume-free and whisper-quiet, allowing you to enjoy the peace and calm of the surrounding waters. Be on the lookout for a variety of locals, such as the endangered loggerhead and green sea turtles, as you glide through the calm waters around Turtle Bay, Pigeon Island, and the local foreshore, then back past the million-dollar yachts in the marina.

Great tour for little ones
Great tour for families with kids. Spot lots of turtles. We all had a great time.
Great tour - informative
Dale was an awesome boat captain. We maintained his 100%strike rate seeing turtles. Dale was friendly knowledgeable and made the trip very relaxing. We would highly recommend his one hour tour and would do it again next time we are up.
