Firstly, let me qualify this by stating up front that my experience may have been somewhat jaded by the elderly gentleman seated near me with poor bladder control so I was under duress from a pungent odour of urine the whole trip.

That aside, the trip was just a boat trip really. Whilst Captain Gav was enthusiastic and friendly, the experience lacked a professional polish that you would expect for the price.

The brochure looked good, promising a leisurely cruise with informative commentary with water views to Fraser Island etc (all of which were delivered on) as well as sightings of dolphins, dugongs, turtles, whistling kites, brahminy kites, white breasted sea eagles or stingrays. We did see one sea eagle, well we were told it was a sea eagle but it was so far away there was no way to be sure. Other than that was saw a couple of Pelicans and we got the option of tossing some bread to the fish of the back of the boat at Rainbow Beach but this was better suited to the kids on board.

Overall it was passable, not really worth the $20 each we paid, but had the potential to be so much more.

Approximate cost: $20 per adult
