Please note: 

- We want our guests to have the best experience possible & so we can ensure this, we start offering our afternoon cruise a little later in July & finish a little earlier in October.  We are never 100% sure when the whales will arrive at the start of our whale watch season in Hervey Bay Waters.  Being wild animals, they don't book in advance, but just show up.  Their departure from Hervey Bay Waters at the end of our season in October is also unpredictable. We are very confident about the times we are offering our Afternoon cruise that your experience will be the best we can offer.  Having already been out interacting with the whales on our morning cruise we know where they are in the bay and can head straight to them.  Chances are, other boats will be on their way back to the marina and we will have the whales to our selves.

- ALL Fraser Island and Whales Packages require 1.5 days so please allocate a different day for each tour.  Book this package on the date you wish to do the whale watch and in the section provided inform us of the date you wish to do the Fraser Island tour.   You can do your package in any order you want & with a gap between the tours.
