The whales have officially arrived – ready to stay and play in Hervey Bay! Close encounters with these gentle giants are common on whale watching tours on the Fraser Coast. Humpbacks love to hang around for up to two weeks in the warmer waters of the bay.
Pacific Whale Foundation does an incredible job combining tourism with conservation. You can head out on their vessel with heaps of viewing room for an amazing whale watching experience, while feeling good that you’re also contributing to the research the organisation conducts to protect the declining humpback population. Discovery Parks – Fraser Street, Hervey Bay is a great base for your whale watching weekend. There’s a range of accommodation to suit everyone – from powered sites to 2-bedroom cabins – and even glamping. Heaps of activities for the kids, like heated pools and pedal karts will leave plenty of time to for adults to relax. And gathering around a firepit roasting marshmallows is a fantastic way to end the day. Head to the Visit Fraser Coast website to plan your whale watching weekend.
