Are you interested in making unforgettable memories during the school holidays?

Consider going on a whale-watching tour with one of Hervey Bay's amazing operators and be part of the Annual Humpback whale migration.

A day on the water with these gentle giants is a not-to-be-missed experience as we welcome the beautiful Mums and calves into the bay for a rest before they embark on their southern journey. There's a lot to splash about from these little ones as they mimic Mum's interactions with the vessels.

A call to our centre on 4196 9600 is all that is needed to check on availability, weather condition forecasts and make your booking ensuring you will have the BEST time! Hervey Bay Visitor Information Centre opening hours - Monday to Saturday 9am - 5pm, Sunday 9am - 2pm
