About Whale Watching
Australia is one of the best places on earth for whale watching, with humpback whales migrating along the east coast from June to November each year. Hervey Bay in Queensland is widely regarded as the whale watching capital of Australia — and possibly the world — thanks to its sheltered waters where humpbacks pause their migration to rest, play, and nurse their calves.
Dundee Adventure offers whale watching experiences across multiple locations including Hervey Bay, Noosa, and K'gari (Fraser Island). Watch from purpose-built whale watching vessels with expert marine naturalists who share insights about these incredible creatures. Many tours offer close encounters where curious whales approach the boat, sometimes coming within metres of awestruck passengers.
Beyond Hervey Bay, you can combine whale watching with ocean kayaking in Noosa, or join a multi-day tour that includes whale watching alongside K'gari 4WD adventures. The season typically runs from late June through early November, with peak encounters in August and September.
All our whale watching tours operate with fully licensed operators committed to responsible whale watching practices, ensuring minimal disturbance to these magnificent marine mammals.
