Whalesong Cruises

The ultimate bucket list experience: watching breaching, pec/tail slapping, spy-hopping, majestic Humpback whales in their natural environment; sometimes so close to the boat you could almost touch them. On board Whalesong, you can relax and enjoy the entire experience whilst the friendly, experienced and safety trained crew look after you and your friends and family's needs. As a responsible whale/dolphin operator, you can be assured your experience will have a minimal impact on these magnificent creatures of the sea.

Choose between their Extended Morning (5 hour cruise) or Afternoon + Sunset (4 - 4.5 hour cruise) Whale Watching experiences. There's no need to worry about what to eat; Whalesong Cruises is the only half day Whale Watch boat tour in Hervey Bay to include meals, representing excellent value for money. In addition to an incredible experience observing humpback whales in their natural environment, you'll enjoy a real time commentary about all local marine mammals (humpback whales, dolphins, dugongs, sharks, turtles and bird life) as well as some local history of K'gari (Fraser Island) and the traditional land owners, the Butchulla people. With their multilingual crew, this live commentary can all be translated directly to you in French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish.
