Hervey Bay: Great Sandy Straits Calm-Water Wildlife Cruise｜Australia

Embark on a 2.5-hour cruise through the sheltered waters between the Fraser Coast and K’gari, the world’s largest sand island. Discover a stretch of protected coastline dotted with seven unique islands, each with its own natural beauty, cultural stories, and rich history.

As you cruise the calm, clear waters, keep your eyes peeled for pods of bottlenose and Australian humpback dolphins, and for turtles surfacing quietly for a breath of air. Along the way, you may also encounter an assortment of sea birds, rays, fish, and other marine life that call this region home.

Listen as certified naturalists share fascinating insights into the lives of these remarkable animals, the importance of their habitats, and the conservation and research efforts led by Pacific Whale Foundation Australia—actively working in Hervey Bay since 1984.

This cruise is the perfect blend of serenity and excitement—where every moment brings the possibility of a magical marine encounter.
