Playing in the
warm, sheltered waters of Hervey Bay with their
calves is what the humpback whales like doing
best.
Migrating north to the warmer
Queensland waters in winter, the humpback whales
stop in at Hervey Bay to play with their new
calves and enjoy the warm climate.
Visit
Hervey Bay during August, September and October,
board Volante III and be prepared for the
ultimate whale watching experience. |
 |
Sheltered by the
World Heritage Fraser Island, the protected area
of Platypus Bay is the ideal location for whale
watching, the humpback whales indulging in
nature's playground right on Hervey Bay's door
step.
Reach out and
almost touch the gentle giants of the sea as
they glide under the boat, spy hop just meters
from you and teach their calves how to lunge,
tail slap and breach.
The fifteen meter,
stable catamaran offers 360° of panoramic
viewing, two, wide viewing decks, fully licensed
bar and only takes a maximum of eighty
passengers, guaranteeing you plenty of space to
move around and view the whales from every
angle. |
 |
The friendly
crew offer you expert knowledge on the
humpback whales as well as the local area
for a more personalised trip, allowing you
to learn all aspects of the mammals making
for a truly informative trip.
When
on board Volante III you have the option
of either a morning or afternoon cruise,
each including morning or afternoon tea
and refreshments as well as a courtesy
pick up service from your Hervey Bay
accommodation. |
As the majestic
mammals spy hop just meters from the boat, take
that once in a life time photo opportunity,
reach out and almost touch the beautiful giants
as they say hello and stare at you from under
the surface. Volante III is the optimum
whale watching vessel so spend the morning or
afternoon with these gentle creatures for an
experience you will never forget. |
