At 12 pm (time may be adjusted for tides), Hervey Bay- based and Maryborough-based guests will board the luxurious Freedom catamaran for a scenic cruise along the Mary River. Savour a delicious lunch onboard as you take in the picturesque horizons of the Great Sandy Straits and K'Gari (formerly Fraser Island) on your journey back to Hervey Bay arriving at approximately 3.30pm.

A wonderful day all round, filled with new memories of Heritage and Horizons.
