Hervey Bay's Whale Viewing Period: What You Need to Understand

Hervey Bay stands out from various other whale-watching hotspots as a result of its special geography and waters bordering the area, protected by Fraser Island (K'gari), supply a haven for humpback whales as they journey. Yearly, from July to November, the bay welcomes a massive inflow of these incredible wild animals as they make a rest stop during their remarkable trip along Australia's eastern seaboard.

What makes Hervey Bay absolutely distinct is its duty as a stopover for these whales. Unlike various other areas where humpbacks are observed on the move, in Hervey Bay, they pause to relax, play, and support their young. These resting habits mean that site visitors often witness intimate memories, from mothers educating young how to breach to lively displays of tail slapping and fin twirling.
