Did you know your visit to Hervey Bay can include three amazing bucket-list experiences? This inspirational 3-day itinerary gives you the best Whale Watching in Australia, the Great Barrier Reef & Lady Elliot Island, plus World-Heritage listed K'gari (Fraser Island)!
Day 1 - Afternoon Whale Watching Cruise
Fly or drive to Hervey Bay, Qld.
Check into your Hervey Bay accommodation (we can arrange) and after lunch, head out from the Hervey Bay Marina into Platypus Bay to enjoy Australia’s capital for Whale Watching. Your Whale Watching cruise is comfortable & informative and you'll be relaxing and feeling connected to nature in no time. Be inspired by the majestic Humpback Whales as they play around you. You might even want to experience 'Swim with Whales'.
Day 2 - Great Barrier Reef & Lady Elliot Island
Make your way to the Hervey Bay Airport for the short 40-minute scenic flight to Lady Elliot Island on the Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy the vast views from the plane before landing on the island’s grass strip where you'll be greeted by your island host. Spend the day (7-hours) exploring the island and coral lagoons, snorkelling the reef, cruise on the glass bottom boat to see the reef, and find gigantic manta rays and turtles. Relax while you enjoy the all-day resort facilities and restaurant lunch before your return flight to Hervey Bay.
Day 3 - K'gari (Fraser Island) Day Tour
On this full day adventure you'll be led by an experienced local guide so you won't have to worry about a thing. You’ll experience iconic sites on a curated itinerary with highlights such as Lake McKenzie, World Heritage-listed rainforest, 75-Mile Beach, Eli Creek and the iconic Maheno Shipwreck. You don’t need your own 4WD – our team will traverse the tracks and tides to ensure you have an easy and enjoyable experience on the world’s largest sand island. Have your camera ready for awe-inspiring moments at every location all day!
