Boat Day Trips Urangan

Freedom III departs at 9:30am from Sandy Straits Marina, Buccaneer Road, Urangan and returns after 2.30pm most days from mid October to June.
The peak season for whale-watching in Hervey Bay is from late July to early October. Mother nature is in charge of whether we will see any whales in the shoulder season of early July and late October. It is highly unlikely we will see any Humpback whales in the off-peak season from November to June, but we are sure you will have a beautiful day on the water, and we may still encounter minke whales, dolphins, turtles, dugong, rays and sharks.

Cruise the sheltered waters of beautiful Hervey Bay and travel comfortably with us to Round Island, Big Woody Island and Pelican Bank before reaching the widest part of K'gari at Moon Point. From there we cruise to Coongul Beach for morning tea and on to Platypus Bay in time for lunch. Interesting historical and geographical information will be included in the skipper's commentary. Further up the island you will enjoy the sights of the Arch Cliffs, and several creek entrances along the pristine beaches.
Keep a close watch and you may see dugongs, dolphins, dingos, sea birds and turtles. You will definitely experience the natural beauty of this area with its sand banks, estuaries, tree-lined cliffs and beaches.
