Hervey Bay Whale Watching Season 2017
July 16 - October 31
Over the last 20 years the earliest whale sighting in the Bay has been July 9th. By July 15th there is roughly a 50% chance of sighting whales, and historically from July 24th you are almost certain of seeing whales. All Hervey Bay whale watching operators guarantee sightings (or a free ticket for another cruise) from July 26th to October 31st, with plentiful whales in the Bay from the start of August.
WhaleSong Cruises is usually the first boat to launch for the season, and around July 2nd will start Whale Search / Dolphin Watch Cruises. These are 3/4 day trips until July 23rd. You are guaranteed to see dolphins, but you may not see whales until after the middle of July.
At the start and end of the season the whales are a lot further up the Bay (possibly 40 miles+). As such, up until July 24th and after about 15th October (date varies depending on where the whales are) there are no half-day trips, and all boats operate 3/4 day or longer.
A summary of our recommended boats and packages appears below. Please contact me for any further information. rob@emeraldene.com.au
