Hervey Bay Eco Marine Tours

The Milbi, a purpose built glass bottom boat, gently navigates through the beauty of the Great Sandy Strait Marine Park.

Cruise through the Straits while joining the search for fish habitat amongst the coral reef, turtles, dolphins, sea bird colonies, and possibly a reef shark or dugong. Mother Nature will lead the way.

Time is spent on secluded Islands where you can swim or snorkel in crystal clear waters, play beach cricket or relax on the sandy beaches. As they only carry small numbers, your personalised experience is shared in a relaxed and friendly manner.

While it is their aim to offer the best marine experience possible, inclusions may vary to suit the most favourable weather for your comfort. The conditions determine snorkelling on the day.

Pram and Wheelchair Friendly. Dietary requirements catered for. Please mention when you book.
