Whale Watching

Whale Watching Tours

Hervey Bay is known as the whale watching capital of the world.

The whale watching season in Hervey Bay operates from July - November.

The whales start to arrive in July and tours begin in the middle of the month. A Hervey Bay whale watching experience is vastly different to most the world.

The whales are playful and inquisitive interacting with tourists on the boats. Whales are up-close and personal, creating memories that last a lifetime.

A fleet of specially designed vessels operate from Urangan during the season observing the thousands of east coast humpbacks which break their migration journey from the Antarctic to the northern tropics in the calm, shallow waters off Hervey Bay.
