Description
Kick off your shoes at Berth B5, Great Sandy Straits Marina and step aboard a sleek 11.6 metre sailing catamaran for a full-day whale watching escape in Hervey Bay. With passenger numbers kept low, you're never jostling for space; it's just you and a cracking front-row seat to spot whales and dolphins in their favourite Queensland playground.
Your seasoned skipper has been whale watching since 1996, with decades working alongside marine mammals including time with Seaworld and the Australian Antarctic Division. They know just where to point the bow for unforgettable encounters. Use the hydrophone to listen beneath the waves and check out whales from the in-water viewing platform; this is wildlife watching done right.
Comfort isn't just a bonus, it's standard; stretch out on shaded decks with solid hand rails, tuck into morning and afternoon tea, or settle in for a quality buffet lunch matched with a complimentary drink. All dietary needs are sorted, and the vessel has a full walk-in bathroom. Keep connected with free Wifi and snap those magic moments with plenty of room for photography.
Tours depart 7:30am and return around 3:30pm, or whenever the crew decides everyone's stoked. Courtesy transfers are included, and whale watching is best suited for adventurers aged 8 and up due to the tour's length. You'll sail with the smallest carbon footprint in town, real deal, responsible whale watching led by people who love this patch of ocean.
