What you can expect

  • Travel on board a comfortable, multi-award-winning sailing vessel to the heart of the playground of the humpback whales.

    The owner and skipper Peter Lynch brings his knowledge, experience and passion to each whale-watch encounter, providing expert commentary as he shows you the magnificent humpback whales in their natural environment.

    On this 1-day whale-watch encounter you’ll cruise the calm waters of Hervey Bay to observe the inquisitive and active humpback whales and see activities such as tail-slapping, breaching, pectoral slapping or spy-hopping.

    If the conditions are right, you may be able to try out the exclusive in-water platform for an immersive experience and a once-in-a lifetime encounter with a humpback whale.

    Whether you’re in the water or on the boat, these magnificent marine creatures will take your breath away as you get up close and personal with them in their own environment.
