Saltwater Playground provides an array of fishing experiences with options for both full-day and half-day excursions. Adventurous anglers can opt for full-day trips that take them to the deeper water around an hour boat drive. We also travel along k’gari (Fraser Island) up to Roonies Point for thrilling escapades and the chance to reel in impressive catches. On the other hand, those looking for a shorter adventure can enjoy half-day trips that concentrate on fishing closer to the shore, allowing them to explore the rich marine life around the Bay Islands, Sand flats, and Inshore reefs.
