Humpback whales follow a seasonal migration pattern that brings them to Hervey Bay in the Australian winter (July &ndash; October), peaking in August/September.

The Ultimate Whalewatch runs from 2 July to 30 October,&nbsp;with whale sightings guaranteed from 16 July&nbsp;to 9 October.

Ultimate Whalewatch is a small-group, interactive ecotour with a maximum capacity of 40 people. This means no crowds, no jostling for space, and plenty of photo opportunities. Everyone has 3600&nbsp;panoramic views at water level to see the whales up close and personal.

Every whalewatch is different. More than 21,000 humpbacks migrate to Australia&rsquo;s eastern coast and over 30% of them stop in Hervey Bay between July and October. That&rsquo;s a lot of whales for a relatively small area, resulting in some of the best whale watching in the world.

Hydrophones are microphones that crew lowers into the water so that you can hear whales singing (typically called &ldquo;whale song&rdquo;).

No. The vessel is not handicapped accessible.

Children must be 6 years old and over for this tour.

Whalewatching is as safe as any boating activity, however you do so at your own risk. the&nbsp;crew are all lifeguard and First Aid/CPR certified, and there is plenty of safety equipment onboard. This tour is not recommended if you have neck or back concerns, or if you are pregnant.

To start Hervey Bay&rsquo;s ultimate whalewatch adventure, get ready to listen to live whale songs with underwater hydrophones and learn the latest whale facts and findings!

&nbsp;

This&nbsp;whalewatch ecotour is&nbsp;based on over 30 years of whale research in Hervey Bay and led by a certified Marine Naturalist&nbsp;who will provide expert interpretation of the amazing whale behaviours you&#39;ll encounter. As an exclusive, you&#39;ll also get the chance to interact with the onboard whale Researcher.

&nbsp;

You&#39;ll cruise in comfort on Hervey Bay&#39;s newest, state of the art vessel Ocean Defender. Enjoy a fast, smooth ride with panoramic water-level &quot;whale&#39;s eye&quot; views from forward-facing seats offering with plenty of shade.

&nbsp;

There&#39;s also plenty of room on this small-group tour with excellent photo opportunities and the convenience of a full size toilet onboard. Ocean Defender is eco-friendly, fully licensed, and follows all regulations for whale protection including our own &quot;Be Whale Aware&quot; guidelines.

&nbsp;

Your ticket to adventure also supports whale research, marine education and ocean conservation in Australia and around the world.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

So grab your camera, hat and some spare cash for souvenirs and get ready ready for a wildlife encounter of a lifetime.

Loved it - great value for money. All proceeds go back into conservation. The skipper was highly experienced. The tour guide was a qualified zoologist. They also had a work experience student planning to study in this field in the future. Everything ran on time. Instructions were clear and all questions were answered promptly. While every care was taken for the wellbeing and safety of the paying guests, the ultimate concern was for the whales and the environment, which we really appreciated. Even so late in the season, we got some really good views of whales, some surprisingly close! Can't recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

Five star whale watching experience.

Saw 6 whales up close and the crew was great.

Amazing Tour

It was very excited.
I was so impressed all of this tour.
The staff are super friendly and provide interesting knowledge about whales.

Thank you !

Amazing whale watching

I was an amazing day, the personal was super nice and we saw a lot of wahles !

Amazing

The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. We were told it would be a little choppy out on the water and they offered us a refund or a transfer to another day. We decided to go but no luck finding any whales. the skipper was great and took us inshore to look for dolphins - which we found!

Great trip even with no whales
