The 2 Best Whale Watching Workshops Worldwide

1.World class Whale Watching from Hervey Bay

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 183 reviews · from $86Our pick

Spend about four hours aboard the 20-meter MV Amaroo, a stable catamaran carrying up to 50 guests on whale-watching cruises from Hervey Bay. Choose morning or afternoon, enjoy tea and biscuits, and listen to commentary on humpback whales, Fraser Island, and local marine life. Sightings are guaranteed, subject to conditions.

“This is a must do experience made more special by the crew of the MV Amaroo who did all in their power to give us a great whale watching afternoon. Their knowledge of the area and the marine life added to the tour. We were fortunate to see several pods and interact with them. We would definitely do this again.”
