Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR23-31MAR25:
A Kingfisher Bay Resort representative will meet you at the Kingfisher Bay Resort reception to commence a Half Day Whale Watching Cruise on a 17.5m motorised catamaran vessel. Humpback whales book their holidays in Hervey Bay from August to October. During this time about a thousand humpbacks spend anywhere from a day to two weeks relaxing and nurturing their calves in the sheltered lee of Fraser Island. Because the whales are taking time our from their migration, they provide some of the best whale watching in the world. As they come in close to the boats, they are easily seen in the clear waters of the bay. Marine rangers/skippers provide commentary and a multimedia presentation. Cruise concludes at approximately 12.00pm.
