During the months of July to early November, the crystal clear calm waters between the Hervey Bay and the World Heritage listed Fraser Island become the home to the magnificent Humpback Whales, as they feed and raise their young before their long journey back to Antarctica. Since the early 80's people from all over the world have travelled to Hervey Bay, to view these amazing creatures on purpose built whale watching vessels, from the small number of the sailing fleet, to the fast travelling and underwater viewing vessels of the catamarans, Hervey Bay has a boat to suit your needs.
