The Humpback whale can be regularly seen in the waters of southern Queensland. During the winter the humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to the warm waters of Queensland where they can feed, breed and frolic and enjoy the shady waters of Fraser Island.
There are several humpback whales that make an appearance in
Fraser Island from July to November where they then begin their migration with
their new born calves. Fraser Island has gained a lot of popularity in recent
years due to its main attraction, the whales, where tourist and naturalist and
other wild life enthusiasts’ religiously return to watch these magnificent
creatures year after year. Those who are looking for a never before seen
experience with humpback whales can look forward to a spectacular show, it’s
like the whales know that all eyes on them and they give the best of their
performance to their onlookers in the form of some if their acrobatics such as
breaching and tail flapping.
The whale watching tour boats will take their guests as
close as possible to these giants and their frolicking playground in the waters
of Fraser Island. These tours can guarantee you spotting as many whales as
possible during the tour. There are many companies that operate whale watching
tours at very competitive prices. There are professional vessels that are used
to take as many passengers as possible, even upto a 100 passengers at a time.
There are a few vessels that are equipped with a sound system so that guest can
hear the whales sing and offer education material. The tour guide would usually
provide a commentary about the whales so that even the most inexperienced
traveler can later recollect his experience with much accuracy.
Guest travelling to hervey bay and wanting to take a whale
tour can inquire about it from either herveybay motels and other accommodation options in the area as these
accommodation can arrange a whale watching tour based on your requirements, ie.

cautioned guests about touching the whales as they can sometimes come as close
as that to the vessel. This rule is to make sure that the whales are preserved
in their natural habitat and keep coming back to the waters of hervey bay each
year. Other marine species that could also be spotted along with the whales include
dolphins, dugong and turtles.
