Review of K'gari’s full-day 4WD coach tour from Hervey Bay, with Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck, lunch, and ferry transfers.

“Our bus tour is on a 4X4 bus and goes everywhere on the sand. All the roads on the island are all sand and Steve our bus driver was outstanding. We drove on 75 mile beach & saw the most famous shipwreck the SS Maheno, a rusted ocean liner stranded on 75 Mile Beach since 1935. We visited The Pinnacles, a series of striking, multi-coloured sand cliffs. Stopped by Eli Creek a popular swimming spot known for its crystal-clear water and a "lazy river" experience where you can float downstream. We had an amazing buffet lunch that catered to everyone. We had a vegetarian and a Gluten Free person and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 656 reviews · 3 hours · from $84

Review of Hervey Bay’s 3-hour whale watch with marine scientists, live whale songs, small-group views, snacks, and conservation support.

“The team are fantastic and knowledgeable. We managed to spot three pods of whales and were even lucky enough to see a triple breach. I would highly recommend as the money also goes towards the conservation of these animals though if I hadn’t seen the activity we had, I am not sure I would have been as happy but this is obviously not something any of them can control”
