Whale
Watching
Hervey
bay
is known
as the
whale
watch
capital
of the
world!
Each
year
humpback
whales
leave
their
feeding
grounds
in the
Antarctic
to bread
in warmer
waters.
The
whales
stop
to rest
and
play
in the
calm
waters
of Hervey
bay
at the
end
of the
breading
season,
remaining
until
the
mother
feels
the
calf
is strong
enough
to swim
th Antarctica.
Whale
watching
tours
offer
visitors
the
unique
opportunity
to view
these
magnificent
creatures
up close
in a
natural
environment.
A real
treat
for
whale
watchers
are
the
whale's
spectacular
breaches
as they
launch
themselves
from
the
water,
fly
through
the
air
then
come
crashing
down
in an
explosion
of sea
spray.
