About Us - "Happy Hervey"

Welcome to Hervey Bay or as our fifth-generation local family have always called it Happy Hervey.

Natural beauty and its friendliness are at the heart of everything you’ll love about Hervey Bay. The pristine beaches and waters of the bay are calm, safe, clear and rival any top-listed beaches of the world. When you arrive at the 16 km long Esplanade and are gazing at the unbelievable aqua sea and white sand, your breath will slow and your body will relax. What an amazing place. 

Hervey Bay is also the gateway to World Heritage-listed K’gari (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 off Hervey Bay and K’gari (Fraser Island). Hervey Bay truly is Australia’s capital for Whale Watching.    

Experience Hervey Bay is here to help share this amazing destination with you, whether you are visiting for leisure, business, or a special event. You’ll be left transformed by the experiences, natural surroundings and wonderful tourism operators who strive to make your visit special. As well as the many bucket list adventures and must do’s, Hervey Bay also offers a multitude of dining experiences, water activities and cruises to enjoy.

Traditional Custodians

We acknowledge the Butchulla people, the traditional custodians of this land and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Experience Hervey Bay acknowledges Butchulla lore:

  • What is good for the land comes first
  • Do not take or touch anything that does not belong to you
  • If you have plenty, you must share
