Seventeen Seventy, Queensland

Venture to the uninhabited Lady Musgrave Island, departing in comfort from Queensland’s quaint seaside town in 1770. This unique Southern Great Barrier Reef coral cay sits within a reef-formed lagoon. The friendly local crew will share the raw beauty of this natural wonder through glass-bottom boat viewing, guided island walks, and snorkeling activities. As a significant turtle breeding ground and rookery, this location provides the privilege of daily turtle encounters. Sightings may also include humpback whales, dolphins, manta rays, and a plethora of reef life. Sheltered lagoon waters ensure clear and safe snorkeling conditions for all abilities and ages, year-round. The town of Seventeen Seventy is located approximately 15 minutes drive north of Agnes Water.

The Afternoon Cruise crosses Round Hill Creek, cruises along the edge of Eurimbula National Park up to Eurimbula Creek. Turns around and returns to explore the 1770 sand bar. This one hour joyride is fun for the whole family, with an entertaining running commentary, breath taking scenery, amazing wildlife and an exciting finale! It is the perfect introduction to the area, a great taste tester of our vessels abilities and very easy to fit into any time schedule.
