Friday, 04 October 2024

Here at The Spirit of Hervey Bay, we are passionate about helping our guests create unforgettable memories on their whale sighting trip. That means drawing on decades of experience to curate high-quality cruises that allow you to spend plenty of time with the whales in an environment that is comfortable, exciting and inclusive. In this article, we explore the ways in which you can get the most out of a half day of whale watching in Hervey Bay. 

Maximum Time With the Whales

The Spirit of Hervey Bay is a large, modern cruise boat that travels at an impressive 22 knots. This allows us to travel quickly across the water and reach the whales within a short period of time. The entire trip usually lasts just over 4 hours, giving you plenty of time to sit back and really immerse yourself in the experience. 

Dress for Comfort 

During a half day whale watching in Hervey Bay, there’s a good chance that the weather can change suddenly. Ensure a comfortable experience by carrying something that is warm and capable of protecting you from rain. In case it gets warm, we recommend carrying a hat for protection and polarised sunglasses to minimise glare. 

Enjoy Spectacular Views

Whale watching becomes a truly special experience when you’ve got the very best vantage points. The Spirit of Hervey Bay boasts an impressive 6 viewing decks over 5 levels so that you can pick and choose, and settle on the spot you like best. We offer front row views, hydrophone systems to hear the whales singing, large underwater viewing rooms to see the whales underwater and hull cameras for the most comprehensive whale watching experience.
