There's a reason K'gari is regarded as Australia's number one whale-watching destination! The humpbacks aren't just passing by each July through October - they're taking time out in the calm, sheltered waters off our western bay to socialise, have some fun, learn some essential life skills and nurture their young.

The humpbacks' natural curiosity takes over. they glide up to the boats and in return, put on an almighty show - slapping their tails, waving their pec fins and breaching into the air, for a truly larger-than-life spectacle.

The Hervey Bay Whale Watch team aboard Quick Cat II provide an unforgettable day out on the World Heritage-listed waters, joining in on the excitement as you witness these oceanic giants up close.

Today you will explore the island with an expert Ranger on the Beauty Spots Tour. On this full day of adventure seeing all of the iconic K'gari sights, you’ll meet like-minded travellers, visit the top natural attractions and cool off in watering holes – all from the air-conditioned comfort of our custom-designed, four-wheel-drive coaches. The tour includes lunch and refreshments, so all you need to pack is your sunscreen, swimwear, and sense of adventure!
