WITNESS THE SPECTACULAR WHALE MIGRATION

The Humpback Whales are iconic animals in our country and if you feel lucky to be able to witness their spectacular migration from the south to the north of Australia, you are far from being alone. 

Hervey Bay and Fraser Island are the best places to watch whales in Australia, if not the world. The Humpback Whales make a well-deserved stop in the tranquil waters  of Hervey Bay before continuing with their journey to the North. From water aerial displays to fin-slaps, whales give spectacular shows! 

  • Whale watching season starts in July and finishes in September.

  • Learn, enjoy and experience a magical encounter with Humpback Whales in Harvey Bay, a dedicated region to research and protection of these beautiful mammals.
