The cruise was very good value. The crew were friendly and helpful. The food was modest but adequate. Even though there were only a handful of guests, the captain didn’t cancel the trip. We were quite impressed with the whole day.

A great dat out which wasn’t easy for the crew as it was raining the entire time! Captain Phil & Josie looked after everyone really well. The boat leaves via the boat club. So you wait in air conditioned comfort. The Sandy Straits and all the islands are beautiful and historical. I saw assorted birds including tiny ones which had flown halfway around the world! I also saw 3 stingrays up close to Fraser Island. Lots of transportation submerged and on the edge of the island which make great diving spots to see the marine life. Morning tea & lunch was good. There was also a good assorted of drinks, snacks and souvenirs. The Barefoot Moscato was delicious and the canned drinks were icy cold. It only got a 4/5 because it was a rainy day the boat showed signs of leaking (around doors & windows. The boat was very safe.Excellent cruise. Well skippered. Great local knowledge from boat operator and staff. Food and drinks were the best that could be done under the virus circumstances. 5 hour cruise was not too long and not too short. Just enough people on board. Boat correct for the job. Safe trip.
