Experience Nature’s Gentle Giants Up Close on a Hervey Bay Whale Watch Tour
Unforgettable whale watching in Hervey Bay
Join us on the Hervey Bay Whale Watch experience and see humpbacks playing in their natural habitat. Hervey Bay has some of the best whale-watching destinations in the entire world. You'll have the opportunity to experience up-close encounters with these magnificent creatures on board the comfortable and colourful Amaroo vessel. Our tours are filled with excitement, wonder and lasting memories.
Get ready to experience a one-of-a-kind encounter with nature when you step aboard the Amaroo. Hervey Bay’s calm and clear waters make it the perfect place to see humpbacks up close. This region is Australia's first Whale heritage site and offers the closest encounters with whales anywhere on earth.
Our Hervey Bay Whale Watching Tour departs each day from the Hervey Bay Boat Club. Sail with an experienced crew and captain. The Amaroo has a spacious and stable design that allows you to view whales comfortably. Enjoy panoramic ocean views, and have plenty of space to move around as you take incredible photos of these ocean titans.
Hervey Bay is a favourite of humpback whales because it has warm and protected waters. They rest, play and bring their calves here to socialise. Visitors are treated to a magical experience. The more you call out or wave, the more curious these whales become. Even if you are only a few metres away from the boat, it is possible to see the whale's tail-slapping or breaching. You can often feel the playful intelligence and energy of these gentle giants as they swim close to you.
Experience this natural wonder yourself. This tour is perfect for animal lovers, adventurers, and photographers.
What to expect on your whale watching adventure?
Hervey Bay offers a unique experience for whale watching. The interaction between the humpbacks is always a surprise. Help our crew spot the first tail flick or splash on the horizon as you sail through the bay. As pods of dolphins begin to appear, excitement builds as they perform their tricks.
The real magic starts when the whales get close. Hervey Bay's "whale-mugging" is legendary, where curious whales approach the boat. Imagine being just a few metres from a 40-ton humpback whale gliding gracefully past. This is a sight you will never forget.
You'll learn about the migration of whales, their behaviour and relationships with family members from our passionate crew. Learn how Hervey Bay was voted the top whale-watching destination in Australia. These moments of education add meaning and depth to your unforgettable experience.
