Turtle Discovery & Great Sandy Marine Park Adventure
Hervey Bay Eco Marine Tours
Available languages
Overview
Our Milbi vessel is also the most steady of the bay, our itinerary was designed so we cruise smooth waters only, slowly. Our boat has glass panels to enjoy the coral reefs from the comfort of the vessel. This is the only glass bottom boat in Hervey Bay and one of the largest of Australia.
As we ensure you have a relaxing time on board, you will enjoy 3.5hrs hours of marine adventures. Snorkelling is offered from the beaches and you can hire the equipment for just $10 per set on check in. You are likely to see fish habitat amongst the coral reef, turtles, dolphins, sea bird colonies, and possibly a reef shark or dugong. Time is set aside to explore Round Island and enjoy a sumptuous morning or afternoon tea is offered.

we had a great time...
sherry a4.0Dec 2023we had a great time aboard few things out of there control was a lil bit of a let down but we can't control the weather overall was a great day out on the water crew are super nice ppl lunch was fresh was a great day definitely would book again to get the full experience next time thanks again team great jobGreat half day trip
Daniel P5.0Nov 2022Great day trip, in the Hervey Bay (and Big Woody Island) surroundings. Given weather conditions, we weren’t able to go very far out, and closer to Fraser Island but still worth the half day. The local guides were great, very knowledgeable about the local native culture and wildlife. We visited Big Woody Island and were able to relax on a small island beach. Itinerary depends on weather conditions.A fun educational day out on the water
Tamara J5.0May 2022What a friendly crew! Jo Jo our Butchulla guide was very knowledgeable and taught everyone in our family something new about the people of the area. We managed to walk around both islands we landed on. The first one had snorkeling, though you had to be brave to enter the water and sadly the visibility due to the recent floods wasn't great. It was still a fun experience and a safe place to teach our daughter how to snorkel. Round Island, the second Island was fantastic, so much variety of habitat on the one Island! Although sadly the larger marine animals did not show themselves, there were enough birds, crabs, and tiny fish to keep this nature loving family happy. It was a lovely peaceful, educational and entertaining day trip.Bad weather
Michelle K3.0Dec 2020Didn't see the turtles or snorkel due to bad weather. Enjoyed the cruise and a walk on a little island.Seeing to Barrier Reef up close.
Malcolm P4.0Oct 2020Interesting and very friendly informative tour. Guides were very knowledgable. Nice relaxing trip.. lunch was no fuss with lots of nibbles on tour.
