Whale Watching Eco Cruise - Adult

Experience Code: BCN832

Description

Cruise around Fraser Island in a catamaran to see the humpback whales as they play and rest in the sheltered waters of Platypus Bay. You’ll be amazed at the abundance of wildlife that inhabits the waters surrounding Hervey Bay including playful dolphins and turtles!

Your whale watching cruise starts with a pickup from your accommodation in Hervey Bay or Maryborough and takes you to the Urangan Marina, where you will be escorted to our cruiser the ‘Kasey Lee’. You will be welcomed on board by the captain and crew and begin your day of whale and wildlife watching adventure.

The eco-cruise sets out across the Great Sandy Straits toward the sheltered waters of Platypus Bay with regular sightings of dolphins and turtles. Our search along the Fraser Coast for the migrating southern humpback whales begins by keeping an eye out for the tell-tale forceful blow!

Specializing in marine wildlife cruises nationally, you can be assured of service, comfort and safety while enjoying the awesome and inspiring antics of the humpback whales. We provide a full educational commentary on marine life that inhabits the area as well as information on Fraser Island and its coastline – you might even spot a dingo!

Our friendly crew will serve morning tea consisting of muffins and biscuits with complimentary coffee and tea available throughout the day.

Watch in awe from one of three viewing decks, the graceful and amazing behaviour of these friendly and social mammals whilst being served your own tropical lunch of freshly roasted chicken and salads. You’ll even be given the opportunity to listen to the whales on our underwater hydrophone and our experienced captain and crew will provide you with information on the behaviour of the whales throughout the day.

With an emphasis on wildlife education and conservation, further information is available on board by watching our full educational program. Special memories will play in your mind as we cruise on our journey back toward Urangan Harbour, during which time, our crew will serve an afternoon tea of cheesecake and fresh fruit salad. Your cruise will then return to Urangan Marina at 3.30pm.
