Must do the trip in Hervey Bay

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing experience!! Well worth the time and money. The crew was professional and the trip was very enjoyable. We were lucky to get the opportunity to see many whales.

Absolutely the best

Published on Oct, 2024

Huge thank you to the Spirit of Hervey Bay and it's crew. We are locals and go out at least once each year, usually twice. We absolutely love it and have never been disappointed. We thought we might have left it too late this year but absolutely not. We saw so many whales and surprisingly still Mum and Bubs out there. During some of our trips we have had Mum's bringing their babies up to the ship to show us. Just Amazing. We would highly recommend Spirit of Hervey Bay and going out Whale watching in particular. Enjoy your well earned break, for those who get one, during the end of this years migration. Health permitting we will looking forward to seeing you again next year.

A perfect day

A friendly and loving day with my wife and mother in law. And the staff were very friendly and helpful with all of our questions about whales.

Excellent and experienced...

Published on Oct, 2024

Excellent and experienced staff made the whole experience great. They knew the precise location to find whales and providing proper spots for clicking great photos and videos. Loved watching the Mama whales with their over energetic calves . The beautifully perfect rainbow added to the beauty of the whole experience. The arrangement for refreshments was really appreciable . Overall it was a memorable experience.

Amazing!
