Hervey Bay's Small Group Whale Watch Tour

Join a small group whale watch from the Great Sandy Straits Marina aboard Ocean Defender, Hervey Bay's purpose-built wildlife and whale watching vessel, which carries a maximum of 38 passengers. Led by scientists, you'll learn about the whale behaviors you encounter, listen to live whale songs through underwater hydrophones and hear the latest whale facts and findings. Enjoy panoramic water-level "whale's eye" views from forward-facing seats with plenty of shade, a toilet onboard and excellent photo opportunities. A complimentary cold drink and a freshly baked snack are included. This Tourism Australia Signature Experience is based on over 40 years of whale research in Hervey Bay, and proceeds support Pacific Whale Foundation's research, conservation and outreach projects.
