Whalesong Cruises Hervey Bay

30/01/2025

This morning, Whalesong Cruises Hervey Bay hosted a breakfast event in alliance with the Hervey Bay Chamber of Commerce and Business Chamber Queensland to meet with the Queensland State Treasurer Hon. David Janetzki MP and Minister for Small Business Steve Minnikin MP.

It was a select group from Hervey Bay, Maryborough and Bundaberg to talk about Government red tape and productivity issues (and uncertainty) it can cause small business (in any industry). A healthy discussion was had, with more discussion to come. We’re grateful to the Government for reaching out for community consultation…it’s the only they’ll know what’s actually happening on the ground and how we can improve our productivity to improve our guest experiences.

Not only amazing in the water AND on the land, but also in the sky! Hervey Bay is stunning!

Great capture by our friends at the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery. While you’re in town, go check out their exhibitions…it’s a wonderful space!

You heard it right here, the best snorkelling in the world is on the doorstep of Hervey Bay. 

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort has been recognised by Lonely Planet as the best snorkelling spot on the planet. It is just a short 40 minute flight from Hervey Bay, where you can do a day trip, or stay overnight or multi nights. Oh, and while you’re at it, you may as well come and see the best whale watching in the world also (July to October). 😊🐋

Over the last few days we have welcomed venturers and leaders from the scouting movement on our West Coast K’gari Fraser Island Beach + BBQ cruise. On their rostered days off from the AJ 2025 - 26th Australian Jamboree, many have taken the opportunity to rest and relax with us.

Some days, the weather has started a bit iffy but turned out Incredible. The next few days are going to be stunning! Sadly, we only have a couple more days of scout groups on board before they head back to all corners of Australia (and some other parts of the world).

Thanks for choosing Whalesong Cruises Hervey Bay and for allowing us to share our incredible backyard with you.

2025 is off to a great start with the stunning weather we’ve had so far. These shots were taken on our Beach and BBQ cruise today. Just look at that water. Fifty Shades of Blue 💙🩵

At the moment, we have some of the leaders from the Australian Scout jamboree enjoying their days off with us on board Whalesong. What a way to enjoy a day off!

Loving our sunsets at the moment. Even Doug looked in awe of the beautiful colours last night.

How about those sunsets, right!?

Our Hervey Bay sunset cruise is a fantastic 1.5 hours of relaxation and enjoyment. Team this up this with five courses of canapés and a full bar, what better way is there to end your day/start your evening?

We've had a bit of a false start to our 24/25 Summer of fun. The rain has been relentless!

Tomorrow is it though! Our K'gari Fraser Island West Coast Beach + BBQ cruise is back in full swing. Kayaking, snorkelling, tube rides, beach activities, swimming and relaxing. It's a full mind and body reset, in only half a day.

Bring on Summer!

We’ve been hosting some fabulous Christmas parties over the past couple of weeks, with our Beach + BBQ, sunset cruises and a combo of both.

Last night, along with our wonderful crew, we had an extra special helper on board our sunset cruise. Hervey Bay hospitality, (she’ll won’t like being called that…but she is!). Aleeca Waterman sold her beautiful restaurant Banksia Seafood and Grill came on to give us a helping hand. We’ll see her onboard again sometime, to help out here and there. Great to have friends in hospitality, who also love boats. 😊

Public cruises starting from December 15th. Bring on the 24/25 Summer of Fun!

Happy Summer 24/25!

We are slowly beginning Summer season with local business Christmas parties and Sunset cruises. Our fun half day West Coast K’gari Fraser Island Beach + BBQ cruise will commence in a couple of weeks. It’s going to be an epic Summer cruising season.

Doug has been helping out our friends and Marina neighbours Watermark Sailing. These guys offer premium skippered sailing charters in our region. Check them out…

While you’re at it, check out these top lads, Doug and Ian. It’s a privilege to be able to work together with some incredible operators in Hervey Bay’s marine tourism industry.

Live from Kuala Lumpur.

Bec dropped in to see the Humpbacks all abilities Futsal team representing Australia at the Worlds in Malaysia. Only a couple of the adults/carers knew she was coming, so it was a major surprise to all. Took a while to sink in, but when it did, it was just beautiful. First game coming up very soon so Bec will post more information when she gets home.

Go the mighty humpbacks!

That is a wrap for Marketplace UK and Europe with Tourism Australia in London.

60 appointments with product managers and sales trainings with retail agents, it has been a full on 2 1/2 days. Joined with other Fraser Coast representatives, they have really done our region proud! Great work Guys!

What else was there left to do except go check out a show in the West End!? 😊

Bec will start her long journey home tomorrow. There is one last important stop on this journey, but she will share that with us later. What could it be!? 🤔😉

We’ve been a bit quiet as we start preparing for our Summer season ahead.

Also, Bec is in Europe on a work trip. She’s currently in Amsterdam where she visited one of our Dutch agents and ran some sales trainings with the team. She went with Jane from K'gari Walking Tours so they had a double whammy of goodness from the Fraser Coast…a bit of sightseeing too! 😊

Then, our wonderful deckhand Celine came over from France and they’ve been wandering the streets, eating chocolate and cheese and been amazed at everything there is to see around every corner.

Bec and Jane are off to London today to commence the next part of the journey with Australia.com; meetings with UK, Scandinavian and Western European agents, who are (or eventually could be) sending people to our stunning region.

She’ll check in with us again soon. Great to see you’ve gotten over the jet lag, Rebecca Greenshields 😊🙌👏

We won! 🥇🏆

Last night at the annual Fraser Coast Business and Tourism awards, we took away the accolade for Marine tourism. To say we are beyond proud, is an understatement. Three times in a row means we are now in the Marine Tourism Hall of Fame… Pretty incredible achievement, considering Bec and Doug hadn’t ever worked in marine tourism until seven years ago!

We also received highly commended in the customer service category. To even be a finalist in this one, is a huge achievement. To come second place, is such an honour. Congratulations to the winners, pie and pastry paradise. Such an incredible business, great people and are very deserving of this award.

Thanks to our incredible team, past and present and the wonderful local businesses and community groups we work with. Most importantly, to all of you, our fantastic guests who support us in our business which in turn, helps us give back to our community that we love to live, work and play in. We couldn’t do it without all of you…we share our achievements with each and everyone of you! Doug’s acceptance speech is in the comments.
