Beyond the Horizon: The Ultimate Guide to Whale Watching Fraser Island
Friday, 29 December 2023At The Spirit of Hervey Bay, we take great pride in creating a memorable and enjoyable Hervey Bay whale watching tour experience for all of our customers. Through years of experience working in the industry, as well as a unique local knowledge of the area, it allows us to curate a whale-watching tour that you are sure to love. In this article, The Spirit of Hervey Bay discusses the ultimate guide for the best whale watching Fraser Island and the surrounding areas has to offer. We will discuss the best time of year to go, and what you should expect on your journey that sets our business aside from the rest.
When To Go
For the best Hervey Bay whale watching tour experience, it is best to go during the Southern Hemisphere’s winter months. The reason for this is that the whales that you will see on your Fraser Island boat tours, migrate to the warm waters of Queensland when the waters in the Atlantic are too cold. This gives them a chance to rest their young, as well as feast on the abundance of food that is available in the Hervey Bay area at the time.
Another common question is whether to go on a morning or afternoon Hervey Bay Whale Watching tour. There is no correct answer to this as there is no rhyme or reason to the behaviour of the whales in the area. We suggest that you choose what time you go, based on your family's preference and whatever best suits your holiday structure.
Guaranteed Sightings
With such an abundance of Southern Whales in the area during Australia’s winter months, combined with a unique local knowledge of the area, we give you a guarantee that you will see a whale on your whale watching Fraser Island tour.
