The heritage listed Peel Island is only about an hour sail away from Cleveland. Horseshoe Bay which is on the southern side of the island and provides sheltered waters and a sandy beach to explore which provides a wonderful location to go for a walk, play beach cricket or volleyball. Also within view is the rusted, partially submerged wreck of the Scottish built dredger ‘Platypus’.
North Stradbroke Island
North Stradbroke Island is an island that lies within Moreton Bay just 30 kilometres southeast of the capital Brisbane. It is the second largest sand island in the world. On the island there are three small towns, a number of lakes and beaches along most of the seaward coastline with rocky outcrops at Point Lookout. The One Mile anchorage at Dunwich is a great place to stop and relax with a drink at the Little Ship Club.
LAND WHALE WATCHING

Feast on a buffet lunch which includes roast chicken, beef, ham, cheese, pasta salad, bread rolls, garden salad and a complimentary drink.
Once at the island you will be taken to Point Lookout’s sea gazing platform where thousands of Humpback Whales past by the during the annual migration north starting sometime in May through to July to breed in the warmer waters during winter and then travel back south with their calves from August to October.
The North Gorge at Point Lookout is a one km walk that explores some of the most beautiful spots that the Queensland’s coastline has to offer.

We joined Rob and crew on Aria as a group of 8 adults for an afternoon cruise to Peel Island and can’t recommend it enough, if I could give it 10 stars I would. Crew were very friendly and helpful...

Found this day trip via Scoopon Vouchers. Purchased as family Christmas gifts. Initially thought the boat might be too small (see pic ;-)) but then the real Aria Cruises yacht turned up right on time. We had a beautiful morning with Rob (Skipper), Michelle & Noah. Morning tea and lunch were very generous and great quality. Loved the prawn peeling race. Highlights also included boom netting, swimming off Peel Island and the complimentary drinks (of course). The crew put on a well planned, great morning out. We'll be back with the next load of family visitors soon I'm sure.

This is my fourth cruise with Rob and the crew from Aria and once again, couldn't fault it. If I could give 6 stars I would. The service is incredible (as always) with Rob making a special trip in the tender to give me a bottle of water, and upon seeing me snorkeling in the wrong area, took me to the reef area of Peel Island and waited while I snorkeled - just in case I should get into trouble. If that isn't 6 star service, I don't know what is? The boat is spacious, clean and new, the food is great and Rob's knowledge of the bay is outstanding and his jokes - well you will find out. It's so relaxing and enjoyable, I would recommend this cruise to everyone (and I do!) Thanks Rob and Steve for a great Australia Day! See you next time!
