Our Best Hervey Bay Whale Watching Tours
There is no place like Hervey Bay for unique breathtaking, up-close, and personal encounters with majestic Humpback Whales. Being accredited as the World’s first Whale Heritage Site backs up this claim. Unique and unlike anywhere else, the whales and their new baby calves, 'Stay, Play and Rest' in the warm waters off Hervey Bay. Experience Australia's best Whale Watching Tour Cruises between mid-July and late October to fulfil your dreams of this incredible and special experience.
Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is fast becoming one of the most popular natural playgrounds in Queensland - where else can you 'Play like a Whale', 'Be Adventurous as a Dingo', and 'Snorkel with Nemo' on the Great Barrier Reef?
Natural beauty and friendliness are at the heart of everything you'll love about Hervey Bay. The pristine beaches and waters of the bay are clear, calm & safe, and rival any top-listed beaches of the world. When you arrive at the Esplanade and are gazing at 16 km of sandy beaches and unbelievable aqua sea, your breath will slow and your body will relax. What an amazing place.
When you visit Hervey Bay, there are three massive “Bucket List” experiences we highly recommend that will leave you uniquely transformed by nature.
Hervey Bay is the gateway to World Heritage-listed K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), and Lady Elliot Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef. It is also uniquely home to the world’s first Whale Heritage Site – the only place where thousands of Humpback Whales stop during their migration between July and October to rest, socialise and play with their calves in the warm shallow waters of Hervey Bay and K’gari. Hervey Bay truly is Australia’s Capital for Whale Watching.
Whether you want to make lifelong family holiday memories, challenge yourself with unique adventures, find yourself in nature, or just enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation on vast pristine beaches, Experience Hervey Bay is your most comprehensive LOCAL tourism information & booking service ready to help share this amazing destination with you. Whether you are visiting for leisure, business or a special event, we specialise in K'gari (formerly Fraser Island), Hervey Bay, Whale Watching, and Lady Elliot Island on the Great Barrier Reef.
K'gari (Fraser Island)
You’ll never forget K’gari (meaning Paradise - named by the indigenous Butchulla Traditional Owners) and once you experience it, you'll be left with a very special connection. There is nowhere else like it. World-Heritage listed K'gari is the world’s largest sand island and is situated just off Hervey Bay with easy access via River Heads (45 min ferry cruise). It stretches for 123 km along the Great Sandy Strait and Wide Bay. There are a range of fantastic marine and land-based tours ranging in duration and style that will ensure you have an unforgettable K’gari Experience!
Lady Elliot Island - Great Barrier Reef
We have one of the best kept secrets to share about Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. You don’t have to travel for days to the far northern tropics to experience it with thousands of other tourists. The cooler and less disturbed Southern Great Barrier Reef has been voted by Lonely Planet as the world's best snokelling! Lady Elliot Island is easily accessible from Hervey Bay with a short 40-minute scenic flight. The hard and soft corals, and marine life (home of the manta ray & significant turtle breeding sites) at Lady Elliot Island will truly delight and amaze you! Day trips and longer stays available.
