Step by Step

Immerse yourself in the vastness of nature with a whale watching cruise in Hervey Bay, Queensland. This unique experience will allow you to see the majestic humpback whales up close as they migrate through these protected waters. Accompanied by an experienced local team, you'll learn interesting facts, scientific facts and unforgettable anecdotes about these giants of the sea.

During the tour, you will embark on a comfortable and modern boat with several observation decks, ideal for enjoying panoramic views and capturing the best photographs. Thanks to the hydrophone on board, you will have the opportunity to listen live to the hypnotising underwater songs of the whales, a magical moment that few can experience.

Depending on the time you choose, the cruise will include tea and lunch on the morning tour, or tea and dinner if you prefer the afternoon departure. All meals allow for dietary restrictions if communicated in advance. Throughout the journey, you will also enjoy unlimited hot drinks such as coffee, tea or Milo (chocolate milk).

Departure is from the Great Sandy Straits Marina in Hervey Bay, although you can request a free shuttle from your accommodation in the area. You just need to show your digital ticket when boarding. Also, if there are no humpback whale sightings, you will be offered the option to reschedule the tour at no extra cost, subject to availability.
