The cruise was relaxing, staff friendly and welcoming, food was plentiful and tasty and the welcoming drink as we sailed out of the marina was a great way to start the trip. There was even a choice between dry or sweet champagne which I was very impressed with :) Travis, who was our First Nations guide was warm and humerous and spoke very well, captivating us with his talk on the local area, it's turtles and the history of the didgerdoo. That was particularly interesting, how they are made, the different names for them around the nations, and of course his beautiful playing of it. The weather didn't play the game, the wind had picked up and so we had to sail around the back of the island to calmer waters, which meant we couldn't land and disembark in the regular location. John the skipper managed to get us close to the small island, with maybe a 2 metre, ankle deep walk to the shore and we were given the choice to disembark or stay aboard. Some adventure seekers got off the boat, and explored the small island but most chose to stay aboard as Travis assured us he would do his talk and playing of the didgeridoo on the boat once everyone had reassembled - so that no one missed out. I can imagine that it would have been wonderful to be on the island gathered around Travis as he played the didgeridoo with the sunset behind him. But even still, as with any trip on the water, you can't control the weather and the congenial atmosphere onboard, the staff, the food and the gentle swaying of the boat on the return home with the twinkling lights of Hervey Bay guiding us in, made this a lovely trip that I can highly recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful bay.a great local cruise with no hype and just good local knowledge from the heart by caring operators.a very peaceful and relaxing time.felt like you where in the operators home listening to stories .well worth supporting milbi they have the real spirit.

Wow!! What a beautiful way to finish a day. A sunset cruise with my wife on board the Milbi, on Hervey Bay sipping champagne(or beer) some nibbles and King Prawns, looking at the reef through the glass bottom boat and listening to the sounds of the Didgeridoo. The sunset was absolutely stunning, and the crew were fun and amazing. As the sun was setting, we viewed an Aboriginal performance. which made this cruise so interesting and unique. As we headed back to the Marina, we were accompanied by a couple of Dolphins, which just made the whole experience magical. We felt so absolutely relaxed and will do it again next time we visit Hervey Bay. We thoroughly recommend this as a "Must-Do" to everyone.The sunset tour was the best way to finish a day at Hervey Bay. Our 2 crew members were a lot of fun, informative, King Prawns were so sweet and tender, washed down with a champagne, was hard to beat.

The sunset cruise was a relaxing experience with the glass bottom boat cruising along the beautiful reef. There was no waves so the ride to reef was very comfortable. Out on the reef, we saw beautiful coral reefs and a Wobbegong shark. It was a magical experience with the sun setting, surrounded by beautiful reef out on the bay and watching an aboriginal performance.
