From late July to early November, Hervey Bay is privileged to have the magnificent Humpback whales grace its calm and crystal clear waters. People come to the Bay from all over the world to view these amazing mammals in a truly unspoilt and scenic environment. Over the years, the humpback whales seem to have become at ease with the fleet, often being so close you can almost reach out and touch them. Even though tour boats are bound by strict guidelines, the whales are not and swim where they like. It is not unusual for a mother and calf to swim within metres of a whale watching vessel. In fact sometimes you are left wondering who is watching who.
The clean clear waters of the Hervey Bay Marine Park are sheltered from the South-Easterly trade winds by Fraser Island, generally providing lake-like conditions and superb viewing opportunities. It is not uncommon for thirty or more whales to be present at one time in the whale watching area, providing a feast of spectacular displays of breaching, tail flapping and torso slapping, leaving the visitor with lasting memories. Seeing a whale breach for the first time is a breath-taking experience.
