The perfect half-day trip to K'gari (Fraser Island). Step on the pristine, white sand beach and bask in the clear turquoise waters – swimming, kayaking, snorkelling, playing and relaxing. Experience the West Coast of K'gari where few have visited and enjoy the day on your own terms.







Enjoy the spectacular pristine water ways between K'gari and the mainland while looking out for dolphins, turtles, dugongs, fish and bird life on the 1 hour cruise out to our destination.



Once anchored at our destination, we take you ashore via our RIB (rigid inflatable boat) where you have 2 hours on the island to participate in whatever activity you like, or simply take the time to relax and enjoy the remote beach.


Embark the boat, rinse off in the fresh water shower and get ready for a delicious Aussie BBQ lunch. We cruise back slowly to the marina, whilst eating lunch and listening to an interesting and engaging commentary about the Island, history, marine life and other fun facts.


Inclusions:




* Expert commentary on marine life and local Aboriginal history
* 2 hours of free time on the beach
* Use of ALL beach equipment: Kayaks, Snorkelling gear, Beach activities (beach cricket, Frisbees, balls, sandcastle building equipment), Rides on inflatable tube.

* Morning tea – fresh fruit platter and variety of cakes
* Aussie BBQ lunch – Hervey Bay King prawns, fillet steak, sausages, three fresh salads, fresh bread


Cold drinks available for purchase at our fully licensed and affordable bar.


You're welcome to bring your own equipment as our snorkelling equipment is limited (this is not a designated snorkelling trip). Also, you're welcome to bring your own fishing equipment on board. Please call the office to let us know at least 48 hours beforehand.


Conditions
Access ashore is via our tender; guests need to be physically fit and have a degree of coordination to access the tender/RIB (rigid inflatable boat) and going ashore. No wheelchair access to the beach – but those in wheelchairs can stay on boat and partake in fishing.






“Shore Based Activities” (activities conducted off the main vessel M.V. Whalesong) require a level of fitness and coordination. Guests with physical or medical impediments may struggle with certain activities. These activities are at the guests own risk.

Going ashore at Fraser Island may be substituted for Pelican Bank; or both destinations may be provided on the one day. This depends on tides and weather conditions. We want guests to have the best experience and both areas can offer great beach and water activity options.

Join Whalesong Cruises to celebrate the New Year on a rad 80s themed party on our roomy, all accessible vessel.
The perfect excuse to dig out those clothes you've been waiting to make a comeback or.... buy some new 80s fashion and bring it back yourself!
This NYE we are bringing back everything 80s, from fashion to music, to the good old 80s style finger foods and BBQ. So that means leg warmers, lycra, hair teased to the sky, neon colours, those "fancy" finger foods like devilled eggs and party pies and classic 80s BBQ!

Start the night boarding at 5pm, on our spacious boat with multiple decks, fully licensed bar, indoor and out door areas and 80s music and fashion. From there we head out of the marina, tunes going, drinks in hand and enjoy all the gorgeous views Hervey Bay and K'gari-Fraser have to offer.
Once we are underway, our wonderful staff will start bringing around finger foods, and manning the bar while the Skipper gives occasional commentary on points of interest and fun 80s facts.
You will get to spend the evening partying like it's the 80s again, with sunset views to die for, views of the aqua waters and the coastline of K'gari, the lights on the foreshore of Hervey Bay, finishing with a great view of the fireworks.
Once the fireworks finish, we will cruise enjoying the coastline, good vibes and rad tunes heading back to the marina, where you can get our courtesy bus to your next stop!
