Description

That's Awesome whale watching operates in the calm waters inside Fraser Island in Hervey Bay where the whales choose to rest and play. It offers the adventure tourist a unique experience with the founders of vessel based whale watching in Australia, Brian, Jill and Sarah Perry of Hervey Bay Whale Watch, Australia's most experienced company. That's Awesome delivers you the freedom to select from multiple trips that get you to and from the whales faster than ever before. You'll appreciate the low passenger numbers, giving up close and personal with the whales a whole new meaning, full walk around deck, on board toilet, super stability - four 300 horse power Suzuki engines creating 1200 horse power. No frills, just thrills - that's Awesome. Whale watch season is mid-July till early November. Summer Sun Indulgence Cruises operate November to May from 10.00 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. including double tube rides and lunch at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island.

Water Taxi service available between Hervey Bay and Fraser Island all year. Transfers to Hervey Bay airport included.
