Highlights
  • Hervey Bay Boat Club - Enjoy a 4hr, world class whale watch, including morning/afternoon tea and biscuits from the comfort of our purpose-built whale watching vessel, the AMAROO a fast stable 20m (66-foot) catamaran featuring modern facilities and carrying up-to 80 passengers. She boasts three spacious viewing decks meaning you are assured of an unobstructed, 360 degree view of all marine life. AMAROO has full facilities including a bar. Our experienced local Captain will provide informative commentary on the humpback whales, local area, Fraser Coast history and other marine life.

Watch the gentle giants of the sea spy-hop, tail slap and breach. Hold your breath while courting adults ‘boat’ around the vessel playing hide and seek as they are attracted to the Amaroo’s bright colours.

Experience an up close and personal mugging as Whales move in to watch you, watching them. You won’t miss a minute of the action as the Whales lurch from the waves before your eyes. A 40-tonne migrating humpback whale just metres away from you is breathtaking!

Bucket list WHALE experience 🐋🐋 - Went on the whale watching tour with Captain Phil. Amazing experience, loved by the whole family. A bonus was getting so close to the K'gari/ Fraser Island shoreline. What an incredible place. Well worth doing. Back to the Boat Club for lunch, for a burger and beer 👍👍

Really was world class - Excellent 4/5 hour tour with Boat Club Adventure Cruises with plenty of whale action spotted further out and culminating with whales swimming around and under the boat in the shallower water. Capt Phil and crew kept up good communication throughout and they respect the whales

A must do experience - at least once - 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.

We had a wonderful time!... - We had a wonderful time! The captain was very nice to take us around the different spots and was able to see whales and dolphins at the same time. He also let us take a copy of the photos of the day. The whales was very lively and active in the morning. One even jump infront of the boat!! THE WHALES are so close to our boat. Much better than in sea world GC. (Honest opinion)

Fabulous Morning with the Whales - I had a fantastic morning out on the water to see the whales of Hervey Bay. Thanks to skipper Phil for making it a morning to remember, taking us to some very jumpy and active mum and calf pods in the bay and some playful dolphins. A very comfortable vessel and friendly crew made for a thoroughly enjoyable morning. Thanks again to captain Phil, Josie and Mitch for a Whaley wonderful morning of whale watching.

Living in the Moment - We met the friendly skipper on arrival, we’re escorted to the large catamaran and then spent the next four hours blissfully travelling around looking for and at the whales as they moved around us. On departure, the skipper took us all the back along the coast of K’ gari Island, past the coloured sands and safety back to shore.
