Despite the
city itself cannot be considered as beautiful as other Australian cities,
Hervey Bay has something that other
cities only dream to have and for this reason it has been nominated as capital
of an amazing activity…. we are talking about Whale Watching! Located in Queensland, just 3½ hours’ drive
from Brisbane, the town of Hervey Bay is absolutely the best known place to spot humpback
whales. Migrating along the coast between April and October, these beautiful
animals can be found in the narrow sea between Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. There
are several whale watching companies in town and all of them offer the same
type of service: Half
day (4h) or All
day (6h).

N.B:
Platypus Bay is the place where usually whales are spotted and to reach it the
agencies spend almost 2 hours sailing, so it means you spend 2/3 hours with
whales (if you are lucky!). See these beautiful animals is not guaranteed, especially if you go in late October, but take the risk and try this incredible experience!

We
personally chose the last one and we were happy with their service. The crew also gave
us a DVD with the video of our journey, awesome! We recommend them also because
the price was a bit cheaper than the others.
Being an
important stop for who is going to Fraser Island, now you know that in Hervey
Bay there is another reason why you should visit this town. If you are looking to stay more nights in Harvey Bay we advice the YHA hostel, which we found the best YHA hostel we have ever beeen:
The hostel offers a relaxing environment with first-class accommodation for backpackers and travellers of all kinds and it is surrounded by tropical gardens and it also provides large pool, bistro, internet lounge, tennis and basketball courts and tour booking service.
