Whale Watching in Hervey Bay

MV MIKAT is a luxury 20 metre Whale Watching catamaran with air-conditioned lounges with comfortable seats and tables.

It also has and a selection of whale, dolphin and shark books and educational videos. Morning and afternoon coffee and tea are provided, as well as a SUPERB SMORGASBORD LUNCH with fruit juice or a glass of wine, all included in the fare.

The two walk around decks and the large bow provide great opportunities for every passenger to see, photograph and video the magnificent Humpbacks of Hervey Bay.

The name WHALE WATCH SAFARI was carefully selected to describe the style of tour we offer: 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 onboard the M.V.Mikat and view these amazing creatures in action.

NOT a quick cruise, a glimpse of the whales and home again, but a genuine whale tour, departing at 9.00am and returning around 2.30pm, allowing ourselves enough time to ensure, that everyone is satisfied. You’re on board a 20 metre ocean-going catamaran that will handle the generally calm waters of Hervey Bay with ease. Join us, settle back and relax as the M.V. MIKAT takes you from the Great Sandy Straits Marina to Moon Point on Fraser Island, where you will enter the Hervey Bay Marine Park to enjoy your day amongst the Humpback Whales.

DEPARTURE TIMES:
Boarding at 8.45am, we depart from our berth at the Sandy Strait Marina at Urangan daily at 9.00am, returning approx. 2.30pm.
