Hervey Bay Eco Marine Tours - Urangan, QLD

Really enjoyed having opportunity to walk around Pelican Banks and Round Island, with time to spare, in the Great Sandy Straits. Fresh fruit and muffins and biccies a nice touch, Really impressed with the explanation and demonstration of the art of the didgeridoo by Scotty. I am a local, and went on this tour with visiting family and highly highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hervey Bay. Getting to see and experience MORE than the locals do. I have enjoyed being reminded by the very enthusiastic and genuine tour guides what a magnificent body of water is The Great Sandy Straits. Thank you sooooooo much 🙂

Absolutely wonderful experience! The hosts are so knowledgeable on the history of the islands, the bay, and surrounds. We were laughing the entire time! We took along two small children aged 3 and 1 and they were kept entertained, and well fed!

Pelican Banks is unbelievably beautiful!

5 stars, we have already told our family and friends about this amazing package and can’t wait to go again ourselves

We loved the Djinang cultural walking tour! Friendly and knowledgeable guide who gave us a beautiful welcome to Butchulla country -on the beach- and showed us how to make this Indigenous smudge stick!

We had the turtle discovery tour and were welcomed on the boat by John and Travis.

It was a nice day discovering nearby islands and learning about the Butchella culture and beliefs. Travis was very friendly and shared with us so much that we felt privileged of living this experience.

The only downside was the weather and so we did not get to enjoy snorkelling.

A truly remarkable experience both visually and culturally. From the breathtaking vista of Pelican Bank to very entertaining and informative commentary from local Butchulla man Joe. Turtles, Rays, Dugong and Dolphins were all present! I can’t recommend this tour enough. We had a mix of all ages on the tour I was on. Very importantly the access for those of us ‘not so young’ anymore was great. Many thanks to Jacqui in the tour office for talking me into going, I’m forever in your debt. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR…….

We did the eco discovery tour yesterday I was a bit disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend booking this trip on a windy day. We went to 2 islands pelican island was beautiful and my son had a little snorkel. When I booked this trip on experience oz it mentioned lunch also which wasn’t provided that might need to be updated. Fruit muffins and chocolate biscuits are provided with tea and coffee which was lovely. However we didn’t see any marine life and didn’t get to see the reef as the tides was too low so glass bottom couldn’t be used. The tour guide was nice very friendly. Due to not seeing the reef we went to another little island we stopped on a very rocky part of the island which wasn’t great at all my son got cuts on his feet. We were taken back at 2. I was pretty disappointed as we we’re looking very forward to the day but left a little underwhelmed. If the conditions are not that good why not reschedule the tour?

We have just come back from a tour with this company also called Milbi. From start to finish, all dealings with this company have been so professional and so personable. The owners are fantastic hosts and run an awesome tour. Whilst the wildlife didn't come out to play today, all was not lost with a fantastic "welcome to country" ceremony with a highly knowledgeable indigenous local. The boat was super comfortable and capable even in the windy conditions we had. We had a great explore of a couple of islands on foot out in the great Sandy straits and a subway lunch and fruit was also provided.
If there were more than 5 stars, I would rate them higher.
Well done to Jacqueline and her team.

These guys were fantastic. Love it is a NFP and putting the money back into research. Also got a lot closer to the waterline compared to some of the other boats
