2008 Whale Watching Season
late July to
early November
Hervey
Bay is now one of the worlds premier location for whale
watching. Come and see these majestic giants on their annual
migration, as they call into Platypus Bay for their resting
time and to recoup their energy and to allow for their young
to gather strength for the return journey south, to their
feeding grounds. Get close and personal with these
incredible mammals. We have listed the boats that operate out of Hervey Bay, offering the best
deals possible for a date with these giants gentle creatures.
The
warm shallow waters of Hervey Bay are sheltered from any ocean
swells by Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world and
offers lake-like conditions.
Here, you and your entire family can
enjoy one of the greatest spectacles on earth, the Humpback
Whales, as they rest and play for a few days, before continuing
their annual migration of some 16000km to Antarctica. These
magnificent animals are regarded as the most acrobatic of all
the big whales. Just imagine, a Humpback whale, weighing some
45,000kg or an equivalent of 11 elephants, that, with a few
flicks of its tail, can propel itself almost totally out of the
water. Or you can watch them, swimming towards your vessel to
almost within touching distance, gently and carefully checking
you out for their spot of "people watching". Or are they posing
for your cameras?
