Description
From mid-July to mid-November, Hervey Bay has become famous as the playground of the majestic humpback whales on their return to the Antarctic.
Hervey Bay is preferred for its calm and safe whale watching conditions, where the whales put on a spectacular display for you. A variety of vessels offer whale watching trips during the season and you can choose from either a dawn, morning, afternoon or full-day cruise.
Each year, whale watchers are regularly treated to magnificent displays of tail and pectoral slapping as well as breaching. Many thousands of people have possibly the best opportunity in the world of seeing this magnificent creature in its natural environment, and you can be one of them.
