Whale Watching In Hervey Bay

In Australia commercial whale watching started the day Brian and Jill Perry unexpectedly found whales in the calm and clean waters of Hervey Bay on Fraser Coast of Queensland. Since then it has already been thirty long years now that people have been whale watching in Hervey Bay. Over a million of people have already viewed the sightings of Humpback whales.

Humpback whales belong to rorquals group of whales. This group includes Blue Whale, Bryde's Whale, Fin Whale, Minke Whale and Sei Whale. These whales visit coastal waters off southern Queensland regularly. Every year during winter, they migrate from Antarctic waters and pass through the South Island to warm waters of tropics for calving. 

A lot of humpback whales come at Hervey Bay in late July and remain there till November. Actually November is the time when they start returning to southern ocean. So, if you want to have an awe inspiring experience of watching majestic humpback whales, this is the time for you to visit Hervey Bay. These whales while migrating to Antarctica stop here annually. You can have an experience of your lifetime by seeing these whales. 

There are in fact many whale watching packages for you to choose from. A lot of local companies offer these tours. You'll surely find one or the other that's designed to suit your need. For example, if your budget is not too high say less than $500 but you don't want to miss this awesome experience then how about booking a ½ whale watching tour and Fraser Coast accommodation for two nights in 1 bedroom apartment? Two people can accommodate in this bedroom apartment. The package also includes complimentary transfers for whale watching tour, complimentary team filtered water and coffee throughout the cruise and morning/afternoon tea. It is best to book early when it comes to these special packages. All the tour operators while conducting whale watching tours make sure to protect them & keep them coming to Hervey Bay.
