Why Hervey Bay is Special for Whale Watching And Encounters

Hervey Bay stands out from various other whale-watching hotspots as a result of its distinct geography and waters bordering the area, protected by Fraser Island (K'gari), provide a place for humpback whales as they move. Each year, from July to November, the bay embraces a massive inflow of these incredible wild animals as they make a pit stop throughout their amazing trip along Australia's eastern seaboard.

Hervey Bay stands out for being a relaxing place for humpback whales, unlike various other regions where they are commonly seen in motion. In Hervey Bay, the whales pause to unwind, connect and care for their young. This allows tourists to observe special occasions, such as mother whales assisting their calves on breaching methods and engaging in spirited behaviors like tail slapping and fin shaking.
