What to Expect from Hervey Bay Whale Watching Tours
Friday, 20 September 2024Whether you’re a first time visitor or an experienced whale watcher, The Spirit of Hervey Bay has something for everyone. With over 30 years of experience conducting whale sighting tours, we specialise in curating once in a lifetime cruises. Here’s what you can expect when you join us on one of our Hervey Bay whale watching tours.
Changes in Weather
Although we can pretty much guarantee that you’ll see whales, what we can’t always anticipate is the weather. Out on the water, the temperature can change quite quickly, so be sure to carry something warm to wear, a hat to protect yourself from sunshine, or something that can protect you from rain or splash caused by a whale’s tail slap!
Fully-Equipped Vessel
The Spirit of Hervey Bay is a fully-equipped catamaran with a wide range of amenities to ensure your comfort. Expect a luxurious, stable vessel with clean restrooms, friendly staff and more. If you are a family with small children, rest assured that our team will be on hand to help you board with a pram. We also provide a wide range of children’s activities to keep the little ones engaged while you scan the horizon for humpback whales.
Panoramic Views
Our boat is specially designed to provide you with the most incredible vantage points during your whale sightings. The vessel is 24 metres long and 10 metres wide with 6 viewing decks, underwater viewing room and a waterline platform that lowers you right down to the water’s edge. If you’re looking to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures, this is about as close as it gets!
Drinks and Refreshments
All our Hervey Bay whale watching tours include refreshments, a kiosk where you can purchase snacks and a fully licensed bar that offers beer, wine and mixers for sale.
Guaranteed Whale Sightings
As a family run business with decades of experience in whale sightings, we can almost guarantee whale sightings on our cruises. However, in the rare event that you don’t see any whales, we provide you with a free return ticket to come join us on another cruise of your choice.
