Boat Club Adventure Cruises

Official Partner

Boat Club Adventure Cruises operates as part of the Hervey Bay Boat Club family, running a diverse range of eco-certified cruises and tours from the M.V. Amaroo — a modern, 20-metre catamaran designed for day tours on the sheltered waters of Hervey Bay and the Great Sandy Strait. Whether you're chasing the unforgettable spectacle of humpback whales in Australia's Whale Watch Capital, gliding along the west coast of K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) in the summer sun, or watching the sky turn gold over the bay on a Twilight Cruise, Boat Club Adventure Cruises offers something genuinely special on the water. **A fleet of experiences, one remarkable vessel** The M.V. Amaroo is low, wide and stable — perfectly suited to Hervey Bay's shallow coastal waters while respecting the delicate marine ecology beneath. She features multiple viewing decks (including a shaded rooftop and an enclosed cabin), a fully licensed bar, and an ocean boom-net, making every cruise both comfortable and memorable. The crew are passionate, locally experienced, and many are actively involved in wildlife research. **Whale Watching** Join the half-day whale watch tour from Hervey Bay, Australia's Whale Watch Capital, where humpback whales gather to rest and play during their annual winter migration. The M.V. Amaroo's low profile puts you close to the water — and close to the gentle giants. An on-board hydrophone means you can hear the whales singing as well as watch them up close. **Brilliant Fraser Getaway** This summer cruise takes you along the stunning west coast of World Heritage-listed K'gari, with expert commentary on marine wildlife and island landmarks. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, sea birds, the elusive dugong, and even a K'gari dingo roaming the shoreline. When you're ready to cool down, climb into the ocean boom-net and drift alongside the hull as the boat moves at a slow, leisurely pace. **Sandy Strait Scenic & Wildlife Cruise** A five-hour journey deep into the internationally protected Great Sandy Marine Park. This cruise is ideal for those who want an unhurried, immersive experience in one of Queensland's most ecologically significant waterways. **Twilight Bay Cruise** A two-hour evening cruise through the pristine Sandy Straits at dusk, watching the sun sink over Hervey Bay. A complimentary beverage, expert wildlife and history commentary, and — on select evenings — live music from local performers make this a perfect start to your evening. **Hervey Bay Fishing Spot Cruise** A four-hour guided cruise for fishing enthusiasts, sharing local knowledge on the best spots around Hervey Bay and the northern Great Sandy Marine Park. Commentary covers GPS and sounder use, local fish species, boating safety, and the different zones including the Roy Rufus, Hardie, and Simpson artificial reefs. **Eco-Certified and Community Rooted** Boat Club Adventure Cruises carries ECO-Certification, reflecting a genuine commitment to sustainable, low-impact tourism. The team acknowledges the Butchulla people (Badtjala) as the Traditional Custodians of this Country, recognising their deep and continuing connection to these lands and waters. Conservation education and community engagement are woven into every tour. All cruises depart from the Hervey Bay Boat Club at Buccaneer Drive — a great base with harbour views and dining options right on site. Tour guests receive a discount at the Club's restaurant and bar on presentation of their boarding pass. Browse the full range of tours and book directly through the operator's website.
