Things To See and Do
Blue Dolphin Marine Tours
Hervey Bay
Would you like to..
Be one of the few, not the many, for an up close and personal experience that you will never forget, see the magnificent humpback whale from the uncrowded deck of Blue Dolphin. As the smallest vessel and one of only two sailing vessels, you will experience the trip of a lifetime. See the whales eye to eye and listen as your skipper shares his 24 years experience of marine mammals.
Imagine seeing a whale that is 35 foot long, the same length as the vessel and then 30 to 35 tonnes in weight, it is six or seven times that of the Blue Dolphin.
Carrying only a maximum of 22 people, your day on Blue Dolphin will be an intimate and personal tour. Take your time, slow down and take an enjoyable day to see the whales. The Blue Dolphin II is a brand new luxury 35 foot sailing catamaran, offering wide flat decks and room for all to see. The full day tour includes morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

Marine life abounds in the waters of Hervey Bay. So keep a look out for dolphins, turtles, dugongs and in the sky above for the different bird species. There are Indo-pacific humpback dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins and sometimes the Common dolphin. Along the beautiful beaches of the western side of Fraser Island an occasional dingo may be spotted searching for food.
