Board the Amaroo for a fun, 3hr cruise from Hervey Bay along the West coast of stunning, World Heritage-listed Fraser Island.
The perfect way to spend a hot summer's day out on the water soaking up the beautiful scenery. Or, if you’re in the mood for some fun, cool down in the water in our boom-net!
Captain Phil will seek out dolphin pods, turtles, and maybe the mysterious Dugong, for you to watch frolicking in the warm summer waters. View some of the local region's most stunning scenery. Depending on tides, this could include highlights such as Pelican Banks, secluded Fraser Island Beaches, Moon Point, and Big Woody Island.
What's a Boom-net?
Our purposely built, secure, and safe boom-net is a unique way of experiencing the marine life around Hervey Bay. It is also a great way to stay cool and have a heap of fun with friends and family on a warm summers day. The net is a large structure that is lowered from the side of the vessel and easily accessible from the side steps.
