Give us one day and Magic Whitsundays Adventure Cruises will give you memories to last a lifetime!

Magic Whitsundays is an owner operated, family run local business, happily operating in Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday islands for over 20 years.

The team is headed by Rob from Adelaide who is a creative and talented boat builder, a local artist whose paintings were inspired by his years spent skippering Habibi and Big Fury, who excels in unique designs, mechanics and engineering and who also loves the great outdoors, nature and animals. Rob inherited his great culinary skills from the Italian side of the family and great business sense from his Armenian genes!

His partner in crime is Dianne, who arrived in Australia over 20 years ago as a young backpacker from Ireland, who has a passion and flair for hospitality, cooking, and organising social events. Dianne’s travel bug has taken her to many far-flung destinations, where she has learned the secrets of what cultural awareness, environmental sustainability, and customer service really means.

These great attributes from Rob and Dianne inspire the unique, spirited, and energic crew which make up part of our team.

We want to share with you the wonders of the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef.

Our two unique tours have a high focus on exceeding guest expectations, providing quality and distinct experiences through a combination of our carefully selected energetic and professional crew, delicious and plentiful fresh food, comfortable and spacious well-maintained vessels, personalised service, high safety standards, all combined together creating a truly memorable and individual experience

Have a beach day at Lake McKenzie

Lake McKenzie is one of the most beautiful places on K'gari (Fraser Island), and possibly all of Australia! With crystal clear water, velvety white sand, and pristine rainforests surrounding the shoreline, no visit to K'gari is complete without seeing the famous Lake McKenzie. Bring a camera, a good book, and a beach blanket so you and your Mum can relax at this gorgeous location for a few hours.

Watch the sunrise at Indian Head Lookout

Start Mother's Day off right with an epic sunrise. If you're spending a few days on K'gari (Fraser Island), head up to the north of the island for uninterrupted views of the coastline and Pacific Ocean at Indian Head Lookout . It's a wonderful spot for sunrise. Or if you're only on K'gari for a day or two and you don't have time to head that far north, just watch the sunrise from the shores of 75 Mile Beach . It's sure to be magical either way. 

Enjoy a nice meal or cocktail

Treat your Mum to a fabulous meal and a hand-crafted cocktail at one of the restaurants on K'gari (Fraser Island). Though there aren't as many dining options on the island as there are on the mainland, you can still splurge on a delicious meal out. There are a few places to eat and drink at Kingfisher Bay Resort . K'gari Beach Resort also has a great restaurant, and there are a few options up north in Orchid Beach as well. 

Stroll through the rainforest

If your Mum loves nature, make sure you bring her to one or two rainforest walking trails on K'gari. The impressive forests that grow out of the sand are mind-blowing. Central Station has an easy, well-maintained rainforest boardwalk that is suitable for all ages. Or you can embark on a moderate rainforest walk up to Lake Wabby , another gorgeous lake on the island. 

Try water sports in Hervey Bay, Noosa, or Rainbow Beach

Whether your Mother's Day on K'gari (Fraser Island) departs from Hervey Bay, Rainbow Beach, or Noosa, you may have some free time on the mainland before or after your island visit. Make the most of your time with some fun water sports!

You can go canoeing through the lush Noosa Everglades , spotting native birdlife and enjoying a peaceful day out in nature. Or you can book a kayaking tour around Rainbow Beach, which gives you the chance to spot turtles and dolphins up close. In Hervey Bay, you could join a sunset boat tour and toast to the end of an amazing Mother's Day celebration.
