Whale Watching And Encounters in Hervey Bay: A Special Experience

Hervey Bay stands out from various other whale-watching hotspots as a result of its distinct location and waters bordering the area, protected by Fraser Island (K'gari), provide a place for humpback whales as they move. Annually, from July to November, the bay greets an enormous influx of these extraordinary animals as they make a rest stop during their impressive journey along Australia's eastern coast.

Hervey Bay stands out for being a relaxing place for humpback whales, unlike various other regions where they are normally seen in motion. In Hervey Bay, the whales pause to relax, engage and care for their young. This enables tourists to observe special occasions, such as mother whales assisting their calves on breaching strategies and engaging in lively behaviors like tail slapping and fin shaking.
