Manly Eco Cruises
Escape the city – only 20 minutes from the Brisbane central business district, Manly Eco Cruises offer relaxing, enjoyable cruises that showcase the spectacular Moreton Bay Marine Park, famous for its islands, scenery and marine life.
Enjoy the friendly atmosphere as you cruise on the luxurious MV Getaway. The fun crew will show you many features of the Marine Park, home to dolphins, dugongs, turtles and coral reefs and share their local knowledge and stories of historical Saint Helena Island, local Aboriginal people, and many others.
On Day Cruises, explore the wilderness of uninhabited islands and secluded bays. Lots of free extras are included – exhilarating boom net rides, canoes to explore the unspoilt foreshores, snorkel and swim in the sheltered blue waters.
Delicious meals are cooked from the onboard barbecue. Relax with friends and have a drink from the licensed bar.
Day trips to beautiful Green Island, Peel Island and the famous Sunday Breakfast Cruise run all year round.
Parties, Sunset Champagne, Lunch and Dinner cruises are also available for groups.
