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.
