Whale Watching in Hervey Bay

Over almost three decades Hervey Bay has deservedly earned the reputation for being the whale watch capital of the world. Nowhere else can you experience the thrill of being so close to these majestic animals, with many encounters initiated by the whales themselves. Indeed, it is often a case of 'who is watching who'? Protected by Fraser Island, the waters of Hervey Bay offer the whales ideal conditions for some time out from their long and arduous journey from their calving grounds in the north, to their feeding grounds in the Southern Ocean. It is here where the most amazing experiences can be had. Ones that will be remembered for a lifetime, and ones that often become life changing.
