Spend half a day on the west coast of Fraser Island (K'gari) on this Beach & BBQ Cruise with Whalesong Cruises from Hervey Bay. You set off from the Great Sandy Straits Marina in Urangan and cruise through the clear waters of the Great Sandy Straits Marine Park, the pristine waterway between Fraser Island and the mainland, looking out for marine life and birds and enjoying a morning tea of fresh fruit and cakes. The crew shares engaging commentary on the island, its marine life and local Aboriginal history. A rigid inflatable boat takes you ashore to a remote beach, where you have around two hours of free time to spend as you like: paddle a kayak, go snorkelling, ride the inflatable tube, join a game of beach cricket or frisbee, build sandcastles or simply relax by the water. Back on board, rinse off under the freshwater shower and sit down to a true-blue Aussie BBQ buffet lunch with Hervey Bay king prawns, quality fillet steak, sausages, three salads and fresh bread. It is a relaxed way for couples, friends and families to enjoy a Fraser Island beach day from Hervey Bay.
