The Hervey Bay Sunset cruise takes you into the spectacular pristine waterways between Fraser Island and the mainland to look out for our resident dolphins, turtles and dugongs (sea cows) as well as enjoy the vibrant Sunset over Hervey Bay.
Our selection of hot and cold local seafood and non-seafood canapes is served to you on deck, so you don’t miss any of the views. The night continues as we show you the sparkle of the city lights along the 13 kilometres of the Beachfront that is The Charlton Esplanade. We cruise past Hervey Bay’s monumental Urangan Pier and then admire the brilliant glow of the lights that make up the Harbour precinct. All this with your favourite drink in hand. All you need to do is relax and enjoy.
*Please note: this is NOT a dinner cruise. We serve a selection of delicious canapés so is generally sufficient to curb the appetites of most. However, if you're used to a big meal at night, this won't be enough as a dinner for you and we urge you to book at one of the local marina restaurants for dinner afterwards.
