Get up close to humpback whales in Hervey Bay From August to October, Hervey Bay 'the Whale Watch Capital of the World' is visited by many humpback whales during their annual migration south. Visitors come from all over the world, to cruise to view these amazing creatures in action. There are whales to see and more behavior patterns to enjoy, breaching, spy-hopping, tail and pec-slapping and the very popular "socialising", when some whales become as inquisitive of us, as we are about these gentle giants from Antarctica. Why is whale watching in Hervey Bay so good?The waters are protected by Fraser Island, the largest sand Island in the world and with clear sunny days with an average temperature of 22 degrees ensure an entertaining yet educational day, as all vessels offer commentary from experienced crews.
