A beautiful cruise out to Fraser Island (K'Gari) where the boom netting was lowered for some fun! Warm water and a new experience made this a great way to spend a half day! Phil's commentary was informative and he was ably assisted on board by Mitch - well done guys!

The boom net was so fun and water was very warm. We only saw very few sea animals but we still enjoyed this cruise a lot.

Great day out

The skipper was so warm and friendly and very informative about the eco systems. The price was reasonable, my son and I really enjoyed the experience floating in the boom nets. Real highlight of our trip to Hervey Bay.
