Boat charter to view Humpback Whales off the Eastern side of Fraser Island.

Commercial whale watching in Australia began the day Brian and Jill Perry discovered whales in the calm pristine waters of Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast of Queensland. Since that fateful day 23 years ago over a million people have been whale watching in Hervey Bay. Brian & Jill are celebrating 23 years of whale watching in Hervey Bay this year and are expecting a great whale watching season. Their vessel, Quick Cat II was designed in 2003 specifically with whale watching in mind for access for all. Wheelchairs and prams can easily maneuver around the main deck. The award-winning vessel has won over 20 awards including 10 Fraser Coast South Burnett Tourism Awards for Excellence, has been awarded Advanced Eco Tourism Accreditation and been entered into the Fraser Coast Hall of Fame for its achievements in the whale watching industry. Quick Cat II is the most awarded whale watching vessel in Australia.

Hervey Bay is blessed with being the favourite stopover for Humpback Whales migrating between their main feeding grounds in the Antarctic and breeding grounds of the Barrier Reef. There is no other place on the East Coast that the humpback whales can be seen consistently each and every day, so much so that all trips offer a guarantee that you will see the whales.

Eco-friendly whale watching cruises aboard the vessel purposely built for whale & dolphin watching.
