Overview

Half-day trip to K’gari (Fraser Island) from Hervey Bay.

November – May: Whalesong’s Beach BBQ Cruise is the perfect way to enjoy half a day on K’gari (Fraser Island). 9am – 2pm daily.

NB: As of April 14th, 2022, you DON’T need be double vaccinated (or have a medical exemption) to enjoy this experience. 

Welcome to our Summer of Fun.  Your taste of the remote West Coast of K’gari (Fraser Island) for a half day of kayaking, swimming, snorkelling, fishing, exploring, relaxing, enjoying and making lifetime memories. 
This was genuinely one of the best family experiences ever! Everything was taken care of and the team were just fantastic. The activities on offer were great – kayaking, snorkelling, beach cricket, the inflatable raft – we didn’t need to take anything other than a towel, bathers and a camera. The food was delicious with a great BBQ lunch. Even capped off with some great commentary on the history of the island from the Captain on the return trip which rounded out a great trip.

Enjoy the spectacular pristine water ways between K’gari (Fraser Island) and the mainland while looking out for dolphins, turtles, dugongs, fish and bird life on the 45 min – 1 hour cruise out to our destination.

Once anchored at our destination, we take you ashore via our RIB (rigid inflatable boat) where you have 2 hours on the island to participate in whatever activity you like, or simply take the time to relax and enjoy the remote beach.

Embark the boat, rinse off in the fresh water shower and get ready for a delicious Aussie BBQ lunch.  We cruise back slowly to the marina, whilst eating lunch and listening to an interesting and engaging commentary about the Island, history, marine life and other fun facts.

Cold drinks available for purchase at our fully licensed and affordable bar.

You’re welcome to bring your own equipment as our fishing and snorkelling equipment is limited (this is not a designated fishing or snorkelling trip).  Please call the office to let us know at least 24 hours beforehand.
