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.

Meeting points

Our shop is opposite Cafe Balaena.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Great Sandy National Park

    We depart the Marina with no set itinerary, we travel with what the tides, weather and wildlife have to offer on the day.

We stop at one or all three islands: Weenandin (Round Island), Tooliewah (Big Woody Island) and Pelican Banks. Morning or Afternoon tea included, snorkelling is offered from the beaches ($10 snorkelling equipment hire payable on check in)

    4 hours

  • Hervey Bay (Pass By)

    You will see the iconic pier of Hervey Bay while cruising on board of the Milbi. Enjoy the scenery of the bay, learn its Butchulla history directly from your Indigenous guide, all through beautiful Dremtime stories.

An incredible experience I will do again!

Published on Jan, 2025

This is an incredible experience, it feels personalised, friendly and genuine. The team all genuinely love what they do and sharing their knowledge of the area with guests.

Most enjoyable and relaxing.

Published on Dec, 2023

I have visited K'gari several times but had no idea the Great Sandy Straits offered so much more. A great tour with good lunch and very interesting islands to visit with great swimming as well. Loved it!

A birthday cruise to remember!

Published on Oct, 2023

I chose this tour for my family to do together on my birthday as I had heard great things, and we were not disappointed! The weather was spectacular, Aaron was so down to earth and vibrant with sharing his culture and the time spent on the beach was great. As a bonus we saw some great wildlife - including a mother and baby whale swimming past as a special gift. Highly recommend.

The rights balance - Relaxing, informative, enjoyable

Published on Sep, 2023

We booked this tour as it also included Indigenous component . The First Nations employee was ill so we island hopped, snorkelled and walked around an island. We saw sea turtles and a shovel head shark. Waters were clear , the skipper at Jacky were great hosts, the whole experience was wonderful. Jacky went out of her way to organise an Indigenous walking experience for us the following day free of charge . Aaron was an incredibly knowledgeable First Nations local man who shared his knowledge of culture, plants species and the land. We loved it so much and thank him for coming in just for us. We highly recommend this tour centre for down to earth customer service , knowledge and local adventures . Thanks you from the Victorians.Tony & April.xx
