What you can expect

  • Experience an unforgettable encounter with the majestic humpback whales of Hervey Bay, one of the world's premier whale-watching destinations. Between July and September, thousands of humpback whales visit the calm, protected waters of the bay during their annual migration, creating incredible opportunities for close-up wildlife encounters.

    Join a small-group tour designed to provide a more personal and immersive experience. Choose from two daily departures: a morning tour departing the marina at 7:30 AM and returning around 12:30 PM, or an afternoon tour departing at approximately 1:00 PM and returning at sunset, offering the chance to enjoy Hervey Bay's spectacular golden skies.

    Watch these gentle giants as they breach, tail slap, and interact in their natural environment. If conditions are suitable, you'll have option to enter the water and swim alongside these curious and trusting creatures for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. When swimming conditions are not suitable, you can still enjoy exceptional close encounters and whale viewing from the comfort of the vessel.

    With small group sizes, PADI Dive professionals as local guides, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, this tour offers an extraordinary way to connect with one of nature's most remarkable marine mammals.
