Kingfisher Bay Whale Watching Tour

The whale watching season occurs annually from August through to the end of October. Visit the Hervey Bay area during this period and have an intimate encounter with some of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, the majestic humpback whales. 

Migrating each year during the winter months, the humpback whales bring their young to the warmer waters of Queensland, stopping in to the calm area of Hervey Bay to say hello.

Join the Kingfisher Bay crew on the luxury catamaran from either Hervey Bay or Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island, and cruise out to Platypus Bay for the experience of a life time.

Reach out and almost touch the majestic creatures as they swim straight under the boat, spy hop with in arms reach, roll, lunge, tail slap and breach just meters away for you to enjoy. 

Learn more about the nature and habits of the humpbacks with expert commentary and a marine ranger on hand for your questions.

The only whale watching cruise to pick up on Fraser Island, Kingfisher Bay Whale Watching allows you the option of departing directly from Kingfisher Bay Resort or Hervey Bay, perfect for those who spend the previous night on the Island or wish to return to Fraser Island after the cruise.

Your Hervey Bay whale watching experience would not be complete with out visiting the World Heritage Fraser Island on Hervey Bay's door step.
