Cruise to Great Sandy Marine Park with Snorkeling

Glass-bottom boat tour of lush islands, sand dunes and marine life guided by an Aborigine

Free cancellation available
Duration: 4 hours

On this guided tour, you will explore Great Sandy Marine Park in a glass-bottom boat.

Accompanied by a member of the Butchulla (the Aborigines of Fraser Island), you will learn about the history of the region’s Indigenous people as you cruise past sandy dunes and lush islands. While you sail, you can admire coral gardens, turtles, dolphins and reef sharks swimming beneath the boat. For a closer look at the marine life, you can also snorkel.
