Bradley Nardi, Marketing Manager for FCO said it’s a great time to welcome friends and relatives to the region.
“We have already been seeing some fantastic humpback whale action in our backyard this year. Many locals tend to take the experience for granted, so we are encouraging the Fraser Coast to get their friends and families here, as well as enjoying this world famous experience for themselves!
“When you head out, remember to post your photos and videos to social media and use our hashtags #whalesherveybay and #visitfrasercoast,” said Mr Nardi.
This year an estimated 22,000 humpback whales have migrated from Antarctica to the warm northern waters to breed.
The humpbacks are now on their return journey and have started making their annual migration stop-over in Hervey Bay until early November. The proud new parents and the cutest calves on earth are making a temporary home in the tranquil marine environment of the Great Sandy Straits, creating a wonderland of intimate and interactive whale activity.
Hervey Bay’s world renowned humpback whales are famous for providing visitors with soul-stirring, intimate encounters with the gentle giants.
Get on board with one of these leading operators that are partners of the 2016 Winter Campaign that has been rolled out across south east Queensland and Sydney.
Blue Dolphin has exclusive full day whale encounters including limited passenger numbers for great viewing; eight hours touring on board the luxury eco-friendly vessel; morning, afternoon tea and quality buffet lunch with free drink. If the conditions are right, passengers can immerse themselves with the whales in the water on the boat’s purpose-built platform.
Passengers benefit from a highly educated crew with more than 30 years’ experience in marine animal behaviour.
Hervey Bay Whale Watch Quick Cat II has a full day Whales and Fraser Island experience including light breakfast, morning tea and hop off at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island for lunch. Quick Cat ll offers four levels of viewing decks and full wheelchair access around the entire vessel. Underwater cameras and hydrophones add to the interactive experience, but for that once in a lifetime experience, Hervey Bay Whale Watch also offer a swim with whales experience that is not to be missed.
