Whale Watch Tours
The Hervey Bay Whale Watching advantage...
- Up-close and personal encounters
- Calm bay conditions and sheltered waters
- Guaranteed sightings offered by most boats (during the season)
- Not just passing through, the whales play around for 3 to 4 days in Hervey Bay
During Whale Watch season (from late July to early November) a fleet of operators offer whale watching tours with vessels departing the Hervey Bay Boat Harbour daily. Of course, tour operators adhere to Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service guidelines, which ensure the whales are protected and keep returning to Hervey Bay.
The fleet offers half-day, three-quarter-day, full-day and dawn tours on a variety of vessels, each hosted by professional and experienced crew members, who provide an informative commentary.
