Leider kein einziges Tier gesehen

Die Leute waren alle sehr nett, aber es wurde von Tieren erzählt und wir haben kein einziges gesehen!

Thank you for your review. As we are in a natural Marine Park, we have no control over what we see on any given day. We do usually see marine life, it was unusual and unfortunate for you that on that particular day we didn't. Hopefully you will return to the Fraser Coast one day as it truly is a beautiful place. Thank you, Jacqui

Atemberaubend!

Die Crew war unglaublich herzlich und witzig. Es gab drei Stopps, bei denen man im Riff schnorcheln, Turtels beobachten und einige sehr interessante Fakten zur Kultur der Aborigines aus der Region kennenlernen konnte. Es gab frisches Obst, Kekse, Kaffee, Tee und Wraps. Wir haben viele Turtles, Delphine und einen Dugong aus nächster Nähe gesehen. Dieser tolle Ausflug war jeden Cent wert! Vielen Dank für alles!

Awesome day out

This is the second time we have been on this cruise. We loved it o much.The staff were great, very friendly and informative. Both imes we went , we had amazig weather and blue skies which meant the water clour was magical. We saw a couple of turtles, some dolphins and numerous birds. Highly recommend this trip. There are snacks and tea/coffee provided but we also took some breadrolls to tide us over , which made for a perfect day out.

Dinka Dinka was great

Dinka Dinka made the trip fun his knowledge and stories of the area were fantastic. We were disappointed with not seeing any turtles or dolphins and also that we couldn't stop on Big Woody due to weather conditions 😕

Better than snori

We took our boat tour, expecting to snorkel with turtle. Luckily we saw several turtles, but they ran away quickly. however, the performance of Joel, the Aboriginal guide, was better than anything we had expected. Thumbs up 😘
