Spend your last day back in Hervey Bay which is widely regarded as the whale watching capital of Australia, if not the world, and offers some of Queensland’s best fishing experiences as well as a range of beach café, dining and accommodation options. The whale watching season in Hervey Bay takes place between July to November, and it is the only location along Australia's east coast where humpback whales deviate from their migratory path to rest and play in the calm sheltered waters between Hervey Bay and K’gari. There are a range of whale watching options located in Hervey Bay, including a range of ‘swim with’ and immersive experiences which allow you to get closer to humpback whales than ever before!! Whilst in Hervey Bay, a whale watching tour is an absolute must do. Alternatively, there are a number of other aquatic activities available along with the opportunity to unwind in a perfect spot on the beachfront before your journey comes to an end. Not ready to leave just yet? Feel free to extend your driving holiday and opt to spend more time soaking up everything that Hervey Bay and the Great Sandy Strait has to offer.
