What an amazing day we had!! Although we didn't see dolphins, we saw a few dugongs and a shark. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and very informative. Would highly recommend this half day cruise. The water was crystal clear in parts. Can't wait to do it again

I took my partner to celebrate his birthday and we had a great time. We will definitely do the cruise again. Everything from the view, the captain's commentaries, the drinks and the net were truly amazing!

A beautiful cruise out to Fraser Island (K'Gari) where the boom netting was lowered for some fun! Warm water and a new experience made this a great way to spend a half day! Phil's commentary was informative and he was ably assisted on board by Mitch - well done guys!

The boom net was so fun and water was very warm. We only saw very few sea animals but we still enjoyed this cruise a lot.

The skipper was so warm and friendly and very informative about the eco systems. The price was reasonable, my son and I really enjoyed the experience floating in the boom nets. Real highlight of our trip to Hervey Bay.
