Exploring paradise - The Aqua Oasis cruise was absolutely amazing. A great way to see the surrounding islands. Lots to do and so much fun to be had. The crew were all lovely and so accommodating. Do yourself a favour and book!

Brilliant experience, friendly, knowledgeable staff. - This was a fabulous half day out. We saw so many whales and so close up. Staff were very friendly and keen to chat with us and answer our questions. Would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat.

Best experience I've had on a boat. - Utterly professional outfit that run a fantastic tour. The boat is very modern and perfectly suited to the task of whale watching. It has multiple levels (3) and ample seating for and aft on all levels. Knowledgeable staff and driver who let the tourists know exactly what is going on at all times. The boat is also fast and agile despite its size so the tour can go out of Hervey Bay quite a distance in the 4 hours allotted. Drinks are provided along with fruit, cakes and biscuits. Onboard bar also selling net, wine and spirits. Overall a fantastic afternoon and time will spent. Cost was also very reasonable given what was included.

The morning was enjoyed by our whole family group and topped off by lunch and some time spent on K'Gari - A beautiful morning out on the water including a very unique experience with three adult whales. They spent nearly an hour with the boat, allowing for plenty of photo opportunities as well as time to observe their behaviours.

Whale sightings and nice lunch at Fraser Island - We took the Whales and Lunch tour today. Saw a number of whales and calves. So exciting to see them this close to the boat. Beautiful, calm seas made this an enjoyable trip. Enjoyed hearing about whales from the informed crew. We had an excellent lunch at Kingfisher Bay Resort, which was included in this pkg. All in all, a good day out!

Unbelievable - Unbelievable the whales were so active and the crew just got the right spots and the right time best I have ever seen. Breaches right in front of the boat

Nice, relaxing tour with plenty of whales - It was a really nice experience on board. Friendly crew, very respectful interactions with the whales. Big plus that you only pay for the whale swim if you’re actually able to go in the water and succeed to see them. Was a bit late in the season for that so hopefully will be able to return next year a bit earlier!
