Welcome to Hervey Bay. A haven for humpbacks, and a must-do bucket list item for any wildlife lover. The world’s first Whale Heritage Site, Hervey Bay is scientifically recognised as a rare stopover site for migrating humpback whales, making it an eco-experience uniquely different from any other whale watching destination along the east coast of Australia (and the world). Like thousands of tourists each year, Hervey Bay is where the whales choose to stop, stay and play during the cooler months of their annual winter migration. These intelligent and inquisitive creatures utilise the calm, subtropical waters of Platypus Bay to rest, relax and nurse their young, before heading back to their feeding grounds in Antarctica for summer. Famous for our close encounters, Hervey Bay has gained international recognition as one of the best places in the world to get ‘mugged’ by whales. Bouncing back from the brink of extinction, Hervey Bay’s unique connection with humpback whales has blossomed over decades of eco-tourism in the area. Proudly known as Australia’s whale watching capital, we truly are the best place for an up-close and personal experience with these gentle giants.
