The experience
Join a whale-watching tour in the calm waters of Hervey Bay, a top spot for seeing whales.
From July to October, humpback whales migrate along Australia’s east coast and stop in the bay to rest and care for their young, giving you more time to watch them.
Travel on a purpose-built boat with forward-facing, water-level seating and shaded areas.
