Hervey Bay's Ultimate Whale Watch

Hervey Bay, Queensland

We advocate for healthy oceans - join us on Hervey Bay's Ultimate Whale Watch and become an ocean advocate too! Cruise in comfort on our 12m rigid inflatable boat, the Ocean Defender, purpose-built for small-group tours and whale watching. Enjoy a stunning scenic ride offering panoramic views of K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) as you head into the protected waters of Platypus Bay, the world's first Whale Heritage Site - a unique resting area and playground for the East Australian Humpbacks on their migration - part of the Great Sandy Biosphere and Great Sandy Marine Park. The tour is guided by marine scientists, providing expert interpretation of whale behaviours, as well as facts and findings from ongoing, world-leading PWFA research. Listen to whale songs through underwater hydrophones. Take lots of photos from water-level views, and become an advocate for healthy oceans by supporting research, marine education and ocean conservation in Australia.
