Participate in activities such as bushwalking, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, and swimming to engage with the island's offerings. All activities are optional. Tubing is included in the tour.
Observe wildlife like dolphins, dingos, turtles, sea eagles, and various fish species.
During the Hervey Bay whale season, look for humpback whales in the area. If the conditions are safe, you may have the opportunity to swim alongside the whales.
