Fraser Coast Holidays -

Only in the sanctuary of Hervey Bay can you come face-to-face with a massive humpback whale, one of the world's largest creatures, in such an intimate way. There's no better place to experience their antics and awesome size than up close on a whale watching cruise in Australia's whale watching capital - Hervey Bay.

Choose from morning or afternoon half day tours, or full day tours. The vessels differ in size, capacity and facilities, however all have experienced crews well versed in humpback whales and the wide range of wildlife and natural formations found around the Bay.

Hervey Bay is the gateway to Fraser Island where you have you have the choice of scenic walks along uninterrupted white beaches and coloured sand cliffs, or refreshing dips in crystal clear freshwater lakes, or explore the island by 4WD.

Hervey Bay is also the southern access point to the Great Barrier Reef and the clear tranquil waters of the Great Sandy Strait. Nearby, you can also enjoy Maryborough's glorious colonial architecture, museums and riverside dining.

Visit the region and you'll see why the Fraser Coast really is perfect by nature.
