Whale Watching Tours In Hervey Bay

Enjoy your stay at Australia’s premier whale watching city, Hervey Bay

Australia is the annual destination of thousands of whales each winter during migration. Throughout the southern winter (July through November) humpback and other whale species make the long journey from the Antarctic to the coast of Queensland from New Zealand. Whale migration is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which whales seek warmer water temperatures, better feeding, and mating grounds during the winter months.

Up close and personal

What is a natural occurrence for whales, becomes a special occasion for humans, as whale watching tours offer up close and personal access to whales in their natural habitat.
