"Breathtakingly Beautiful. The crew go above and beyond to make this a magic experience. We took the afternnon cruise and enjoyed the array of seating arrangements. You can have a titanic moment with a loved one...or you can enjoy a very comfortable indoor cabin. The snacks and arvo meal were terrific.
Loved the informative and at times very comical cometary from our captin....a man who truly loves his job. Thoughtfully recommended" Google review: Robyn Simpson, September 2024
Whale watching with Whalesong Cruises in Hervey Bay will leave you with cherished memories to last a lifetime.
An ultimate bucket list experience is to watch breaching, pec/tail slapping, spy-hopping, majestic Humpback whales in their natural environment; sometimes so close to the boat you could almost touch them. This experience in Hervey Bay's calm waters is like no other and on board Whalesong, you can relax and enjoy the entire experience whilst the friendly, experienced and COVID-19 safety trained crew look after you and your friends and family's needs.
Choose between our Extended Morning (5 hour cruise) or our Afternoon + Sunset (4 hour cruise) Whale Watching experiences. There's no better cruise than the other nor best time of day for watching whales - they are wild animals and will behave on their terms. You pick the time of day that best suits your plans. Also, 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 our multilingual crew, this live commentary can all be translated directly to you in French, German, Italian, Portugese or Spanish.
Above all, the entire Whalesong team is dedicated to exceptional customer service, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy the authentic, memorable, bucket-list experience unfolding in front of your eyes.

Whalesong's Extended Morning Cruise... (8am-1pm)
July 13th to October 13th
...will get you out on the Bay & interacting with the whales before the other boats, but still back in time to be able to make use of your afternoon if you want to. Of all the morning half-day cruises, ours spends the longest on the whales.
5 hour cruise includes:
- Morning Tea (fruit platter and cakes)
- Lunch (fresh roasted chicken, ham, 3 x freshly made salads and fresh bread)
Whalesong's Afternoon + Sunset Cruise... (2pm-6pm)

...is great if you want to optimise your time in Hervey Bay as it enables you to fit in a whale watch cruise on the same day you arrive as we're the latest full-service boat to leave in the afternoon. After the afternoon of whale watching, we enjoy a cruise back taking in a stunning sunset Hervey Bay is known for whilst enjoying a delicious dinner.
4 hour cruise includes:
