Spirit Of Hervey Bay

The magnificent humpback whales migrate north each year to play in the warm, calm waters of Hervey Bay which are sheltered by the World Heritage Fraser Island. Spend a half day with the majestic humpback whales by cruising out to Platypus Bay on the Spirit of Hervey Bay, the premiere whale watching vessel in the area. 

The twenty meter catamaran specifically designed for encounters of the whale kind, sturdy, comfortable and offering two walk around decks for panoramic viewing. Operating in Hervey Bay for eleven years, the Spirit of Hervey Bay assures a well informed, experienced and safe journey to the mammal's play ground. 

Catering for one hundred and thirty passengers, the vessel invites all to watch the whales play by offering two way walk around decks, fully enclosed center cabin, amphitheatre seating at the front, licensed bar and children's activities. Spacious decks, comfortable seating and guaranteed sightings make the Spirit of Hervey Bay's luxury catamaran a tour that stands apart from the others.  Reach out and almost touch the enormous mammals as they spy hop just meters away from the boat, watch in awe as they breach the surface, tail slap and play with their calves in the protected waters between Hervey Bay and Fraser Island.

Get up close and personal with the whales by viewing them through the glass bottom viewing panels and listening to their enchanting song on the hydrophone, both special feature of the Spirit of Hervey Bay.  The two viewing rooms aboard the Spirit Of Hervey Bay are located in the hulls of the vessel, give you spectacular views of the mammals from an angle you've never experienced before. Visit Hervey Bay between August and October and the Spirit of Hervey Bay will give you the Whale Watching experience of a lifetime.
