The Experience

Your experience Watch humpbacks up close on a 4-hour morning or afternoon cruise with hydrophone access, 3 viewing levels, and expert commentary. Getting started Your experience begins with check-in at the Hervey Bay Whale Watch office at the Great Sandy Straits Marina. After a short safety briefing, board Quick Cat II, a fast, stable, and fully wheelchair-accessible vessel purpose-built for whale watching, complete with five viewing decks across three levels. What to expect Choose your time, same epic whales: Select a morning cruise with a light breakfast or an afternoon cruise with complimentary tea and coffee. Both options include 4 hours of whale watching guided by an experienced and friendly crew. Unmatched views & access: With multiple open-air decks, wide railings, and shaded areas, you’ll enjoy unobstructed views of humpbacks breaching, tail-slapping, and swimming just metres away. Whale songs beneath your feet: Hear humpbacks live through the onboard hydrophone as the crew shares real-time commentary and educational insights about whale behavior, migration, and marine life in the Great Sandy Marine Park. Family-friendly and comfortable: The Quick Cat II is fully wheelchair and stroller-accessible throughout. A licensed bar is available onboard, and if no whales are sighted, you’ll receive a free return ticket under the sighting guarantee.
