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, they’ll let you know when to get the camera out!

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!
