• HomeThe PUMICESTONE PASSAGE MARINE PARK is recognised as one of the most important bird and marine habitats on the east coast of Australia, and is considered to be the smallest estaurine area in the world that has a permanent population of Dugong. Cruises aboard ‘The Ferryman’ gives you the chance of seeing Dugong, Dolphins, Turtle, Jabiru, Swans, Sea Eagles, Osprey, Kangaroos and Dingoes as well as many of the 360 different bird species – many of which migrate from the Northern Hemisphere to these shores each year. This marine park is on the CAMBA and JAMBA agreements and is a registered RAMSAR site.

Kids Cruise

This cruise is generally run through the Christmas, Easter and September school holidays if there is a demand and runs for 1.5hrs (long enough for kids before they get bored!) and we head out scouting for dugong, dolphin, and birds etc.

Weather permitting, we may put a crab pot out and see what we catch.  Kids can help with this and get up close and personal with whatever ends up in the pot!

This is a great opportunity for Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Grandads, and the kids to get together to enjoy a safe smooth-water discovery cruise with us.  We also have a range of critters in jars on board so you can see that ugly Stone Fish and other creatures face-to-face - up close & personal!

Passengers from 5 years and up are $17 per person.  Under 5 years cruise at no charge.  No catering is provided however tea/coffee/drinks/chips can be purchased on board.

These have been VERY POPULAR and a HUGE HIT soooooo  BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL.  At present, pay on board on the day cash or chq only.

KIDS CRUISES RUN FROM 10.30AM - 12 NOON (boarding at 10.15am) and will be SCHEDULED FOR school holidays later in the year.   

These can be scheduled for Schools during term and we can provide a worksheet for you.  Check out our 'School Groups' information page.
