Whale Watching — Frequently Asked Questions

When is whale watching season in Hervey Bay?
Roughly June to early November, with the peak (and calmest, closest encounters) from August to October. Humpbacks stop in the sheltered bay beside K'gari to rest, so sightings are among the most reliable in Australia.
How long are the cruises?
Options range from half-day (around 4 hours) to full-day trips. Most boats offer sighting guarantees — if no whales are seen you can usually rejoin another cruise free. Check each cruise's terms on its booking page.
