Hervey Bay Extended Morning or Afternoon + Sunset Whale Watching Cruise

Experience the rare sight of humpback whales in their natural habitat as they migrate through Hervey Bay on their annual southern migration. Departing Urangan on a spacious, eco-friendly catamaran, enjoy multi level viewing throughout the entire vessel as well as live underwater footage displayed on TV screens so you can observe these majestic mammals from every angle. In this time, you might be lucky enough to see them jump out of the water, slap their tails and fins, or come right up to the boat for a sneaky look! Your expert crew will provide fascinating interpretive commentary which can be translated into German, French, Spanish or Italian, and will answer any questions you might have. The vessel is also equipped with a specialised underwater hydrophone that allows guests to listen to the whales' 'sing' underwater. A tasty morning/afternoon tea and buffet lunch or dinner will be served throughout the journey.
