Great Sandy Marine Park and Cultural Ecotour

A four-hour nature tour with snorkelling and lunch led by an Indigenous guide

Free cancellation available

On this four-hour nature tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore Great Sandy Marine Park – a region that includes Hervey Bay, Great Sandy Strait and islands off the coast of Fraser Island. Your tour will be led by a Butchulla man who is part of the local Aboriginal Australian people of Fraser Island.

During your ride on a glass-bottom boat, you'll have a chance to spot underwater wildlife such as reef sharks and turtles. You'll also have time to snorkel in between visits to nearby islands, which may include Round Island, Big Woody Island and Pelican Banks depending on the weather and tides. On Round Island, you'll pause to have lunch.
