Why backpackers love it

It’s a straightforward way to get out around K'gari without needing your own transport or a complicated plan. Having activities, meals and transfers included helps justify the higher price, especially if you’re short on time and want a full-day trip that covers more than just sightseeing. The mix of wildlife watching and water activities keeps the day varied, and the relaxed pace makes it accessible for a wide range of fitness levels.

What to expect

You’ll head out by boat from Hervey Bay for a full day around K'gari’s remote coastline and waterways. The day typically mixes time on the boat with stops for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking, plus a bushwalk on the dunes. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, sea eagles and dingoes while you’re out there. During whale season, from mid-July to October, there’s also the chance to spot humpback whales in the calm waters off the island, and in some conditions there may be an opportunity to swim with them. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and you’ll need to bring sun protection, swimmers and a towel.
