Bundaberg Port Marina has free sealed parking and a flat walk to the berth, and the vessel has an air-conditioned main-deck lounge with table seating alongside open upper and lower viewing decks. Boarding crosses a gangway that moves with the tide, so contact the crew on (07) 4151 5225 before booking to confirm access for a specific wheelchair, walker or mobility aid.
Getting to the boat
Free sealed parking sits close to the berth, and the approach is flat with no stairs. Crew meet guests on the dock and assist with boarding. The gangway angle changes with the tide, which is the one variable we cannot control — telling us your requirements when you book lets us plan the boarding time around it.
On board
The main-deck lounge is air-conditioned with fixed table seating and level access from the boarding point. Open viewing decks sit above and below, reached by stairs. Handrails run the length of the walkways. Guests who prefer to stay seated still see whales through the lounge windows, and the crew move the vessel so both sides get a view.
Children and prams
Children of all ages travel with us. Prams are stowed rather than wheeled on deck underway, so a carrier or sling makes the day easier. Practical detail for families is in the family tours guide.
Pregnancy
Vessel motion and the gangway are the two considerations. Speak to your doctor or midwife first, and tell us when you book so we can seat you low and central where the movement is least.
Seasickness
Reef-sheltered water is kinder than open coast, and the catamaran hull is stable. If anyone in your party is prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding rather than after symptoms start, and ask your pharmacist about doses for children. Staying on deck with eyes on the horizon helps more than anything else.
Medical conditions and mobility aids
Tell us at the time of booking. There is no medical staff on board, and the vessel operates hours from shore, so the crew need to know about conditions that could require assistance. That conversation is confidential and it never costs anyone a booking.
Ask before you book
Call (07) 4151 5225 or send an enquiry with your specific requirement. A direct answer about your situation beats a general policy every time.
