Hervey Bay Whale Watching Cruises
Hervey Bay whale watching tours offer an incredible opportunity to get up close and personal with the migrating Humpback Whales. The growing population of the whales make the nutrient-rich waters of Hervey Bay a resting point during their annual trek from Antarctica. This is the best time to join a cruise and head out for some whale watching fun!
The cruises navigate the protected waters of the Great Sandy National Park, where the whales play and frolic. From mothers and their offsprings to the juvenile younger ones and adult males, Hervey Bay whales include all groups! Watch them breach, blow, sing and play, all within metres of the boat. The whales are used to the cruises, and quite often, a curious whale swims close to you for inspection!
Most whale cruises in Hervey Bay are led by knowledgeable (and witty!) Captain and crew who will share fascinating insights into whales behaviours. Plus, some cruises offer extras like hydrophones and snorkelling opportunities
