Hervey Bay is famous for whale watching and being so close to K'gari makes it even better. From the island, you can get up close to humpback whales as they rest in the calm waters. It’s an experience you won’t forget, with K'gari’s beauty providing the perfect backdrop.
Join us on Freedom as we cruise the calm, sheltered waters of Hervey Bay to Platypus Bay near K’Gari (Fraser Island) and the Great Sandy Marine Park. This area serves as a playground for humpback whales as they journey south to Antarctic waters. Our expert skipper and crew provide informative and engaging commentary about whale behavior throughout the tour.
Cruise the sheltered waters of Platypus Bay whilst taking in breathtaking sights as we travel along the beautiful white sandy banks of Fraser Island’s beaches to the whales’ playground. Feel the excitement and anticipation as we get closer to the sanctuary, scanning the horizon for our first splash or blow from a mighty humpback.
We advocate for healthy oceans and marine life. Join us on our three-hour, small group Ultimate Whale Watch tour and become an Ocean Advocate too. With each ticket helping to protect the whales, Pacific Whale Foundation offers the only whale watch tour in Hervey Bay based on over 40 years of humpback whale research.
This experience in Hervey Bay’s calm waters is like no other. On board Whalesong, you can relax and enjoy the entire experience whilst the friendly, experienced and safety trained crew look after you and your friends and family’s needs.
