Our Milbi vessel is also the most steady of the bay, our itinerary was designed so we cruise smooth waters only, slowly. Our boat has glass panels to enjoy the coral reefs from the comfort of the vessel. This is the only glass bottom boat in Hervey Bay and one of the largest of Australia.
As we ensure you have a relaxing time on board, you will enjoy 3.5hrs hours of marine adventures. Snorkelling is offered from the beaches and you can hire the equipment for just $10 per set on check in. You are likely to see fish habitat amongst the coral reef, turtles, dolphins, sea bird colonies, and possibly a reef shark or dugong. Time is set aside to explore Round Island and enjoy a sumptuous morning or afternoon tea is offered.

The tour was just fantastic! Jacqui and her captain designed the experience great and created a super casual atmosphere. What was particularly impressive was how flexible they were – always with the aim that we could see as much as possible. Even though it wasn't a season, we were even able to spot turtles from a distance. For this we were allowed to watch many whales, which was a real highlight. The visit to the small island had a real Robinson Crusoe feeling and was beautiful. There we were provided with everything you needed or felt like: Parasol, snorkeling equipment and even pool noodles to spend the 45 minutes as pleasant as possible. On the way back we saw many more whales – and here too we were given the time to watch them in peace, without any time pressure. Fruit and biscuits were available all the time, so we lacked nothing. We can absolutely recommend this tour. Jacqui, keep it up – you’re just doing great! 👍🏻

This is an incredible experience, it feels personalised, friendly and genuine. The team all genuinely love what they do and sharing their knowledge of the area with guests.

Not as advertised. Supposed to be a tour as per their website “leisurely 3.5 hr cruise as we set out to explore fish habitats, coral reefs, and maybe even spot some friendly turtles, dolphins, sea birds, or even a cheeky reef shark or dugong”. Essentially just a very expensive ferry ride to a nice beach for a swim - no exploration of habitats or reefs, didn’t even use the glass bottom. No looking for marine animals, the leisurely part we believe was just to make up the full 3.5 hours. Don’t waste your money.

I have to say this trip was incredibly underwhelming and not as advertised. The glass bottom boat is old, and incredibly slow, makes a trip to the islands you visit longer than the time you are able to spend snorkelling. The ‘glass bottom’ is in a state of disrepair and has rusty water across the top. There was never any reef below us and no mention or attention drawn to the glass bottom at any point during the trip. There was never any discussion about the process for snorkels and it was not made clear that you would not be provided with fins. Snorkels are ‘sanitised’ in a bucket and put back for use afterwards. If we had of been informed there would be no fins provided we would have hired some elsewhere. There was a brief discussion about the traditional owners of the land and what name they use for the places we were visiting but not much discussion in terms of the cultural aspect of their people and how they care for the land. It did not meet the description of ‘hearing the legendary tales of the Butchulla people’ as advertised. I am unsure what about the tour classifies it as being ‘eco’ as it is an old, slow boat that I cannot imagine is very eco friendly. There was no aquatic life to be seen. The first spot we were taken to was a sand bank that had some pelicans on it but it was just sand, there was no reef on the side of the island we went to so there would be no chance of seeing any interesting marine life. We were given 25 minutes at this first location. After a disappointing ‘snorkel’, which was really more of a short swim, we went to the secondary location which was another sand bank but with much grittier sand and a few shells here and there, but again, no reef and no marine life. Here we were given 15 minutes to ‘snorkel’ around before returning to the boat and heading back to the marina. Overall an incredibly disappointing journey for what was advertised, 3 hours on a slow boat for a lousy 45 minute swim on a beach. The skipper and his assistant were friendly and the food was fine. I would not recommend this tour as the value for money is not there, it didn’t meet expectations. I would not book again if I had the choice.

I have visited K'gari several times but had no idea the Great Sandy Straits offered so much more. A great tour with good lunch and very interesting islands to visit with great swimming as well. Loved it!

We had such a wonderful day on this tour. Our tour guide Jo and the skipper were both excellent. Jo was very friendly and had wonderful stories to tell including the traditional story of how K’gari came to exist and where the traditional name came from. He also gave us a demonstration on how to play the didgeridoo which was fantastic! The boat ride was beautiful and we spent about an hour on Pelican Island snorkelling. We managed to see a few dolphins and a couple of turtles too which was lovely. There was only about 15 of us on the boat which was very comfortable and we had plenty of space to move around. I would definitely recommend this your 😊

Despite all odds the Captain and cultural guide Travis made it a memorable experience. The weather was rough so we couldn’t stop on one of the islands and we had rain - ponchos were supplied 😄 but the Captain skippered us safely through the turbulent waters. We saw two dolphins and some reef fish at the island we stopped at. I would suggest that marine life is not guaranteed on this tour. However, Travis absolutely made the experience worth it. His cultural knowledge of the region including cool uses for some local flora and a whistling shell which the family have had so much fun with since. Even the 15 year old said he would love to spend a weekend walkabout with Travis to learn more! I agreed! Great memories made!

I chose this tour for my family to do together on my birthday as I had heard great things, and we were not disappointed! The weather was spectacular, Aaron was so down to earth and vibrant with sharing his culture and the time spent on the beach was great. As a bonus we saw some great wildlife - including a mother and baby whale swimming past as a special gift. Highly recommend.
