Hervey Bay is world-renowned as a place where whales stop and stay, using the calm, sheltered waters as a resting ground before continuing their migration. The beauty of this is that the whales are curious and interactive, often approaching our boat to spy hop, breach, tail slap, or roll playfully beneath us. Our expert guides are the best in the business when it comes to whale sightings, so they’ll make a call based on the conditions and locations of the whales on when you will see them, and they’ll let you know when to get the camera out!
Our half-day tour will have you getting up close and personal with whales, learning all about their wonderful nature and having a camera roll filled with memories you’ll never forget.
The Fraser Experience Tour will take you to the eastern side of K’gari, on a purpose built 4×4 bus tour. Take in the most famous sights of K’gari, ticking off bucket list items and experiencing driving on the sand.
