We will start boarding our vessel for the day 15 minutes prior to departure at the Hervey Bay Marina. After a safety briefing, we’ll give you a rundown of the plan for the day’s tour before departing for our adventure.
Our tour will take us to up to three epic spots, Wathumba Creek, Awinya Creek and Bowarrady Creek. Each day our route can change up a bit, as we make sure we are visiting the different locations when the tides are in their favour. But don’t worry, the surprise just adds to the adventure.
OVERVIEW AND CATERING
Throughout the day you’ll enjoy:
Morning Tea
Buffet Lunch
Afternoon Tea
There is also a licenced bar on board for those who would like to purchase a drink, or additional snacks and souvenirs.
During our tour, all snorkelling, kayaking and tubing adventures are included in the tour. You can also choose your own adventure, if you’re looking forward to some time spent relaxing on the beach while others kayak, that’s A OK by us.
You will get to explore the Western side of K’gari, the remote and untouched part of the island most people never experience! It would take 6+ hours to drive from the ferry to where we visit.
WATHUMBA CREEK
Wathumba Creek is a breathtaking natural wonder that transforms into a vast ocean lake at high tide. While we’re here, you’ll have the chance to snorkel in its crystal-clear waters, spotting an array of marine life, including fish in their breeding habitat, turtles, and stingrays. For those seeking adventure, guided kayaking through the creek system offers a unique way to explore this pristine environment. Prefer to unwind? Relax on the shore, take a refreshing swim, or stroll along the untouched beaches.
AWINYA CREEK
Paddle deep into K’gari’s hinterland on a guided kayak tour through the freshwater of Awinya Creek, surrounded by lush mangroves and diverse birdlife. This remote paradise is perfect for nature lovers and explorers alike. For those chasing a bit more excitement, climb onboard our tube and enjoy a thrill ride through the crystal clear ocean! If you’re still in relaxation mode, you can swim or soak up the serenity on the beach. Depending on the tide and conditions we may also use this location for an alternate snorkeling spot.
BOWARRADY CREEK
Arriving at Bowarrady Creek, we’ll first visit the vibrant coloured sands before climbing an ancient sand dune for breathtaking 360-degree views of K’gari and Platypus Bay. After taking in the scenery, cool off with a walk along the freshwater creek and a refreshing dip in a secluded natural waterhole, where the creek disappears into the island’s hinterland.
