Whale Watching Tours

Whale Watching Hervey Bay, Fraser Island

Join Hervey Bay’s only multi-award winning whale watching sail vessel. We are also the smallest in the fleet at just 10.5m in length. Most of the whales we see are 10 to 13 metres in length and 30 tonnes or more, thats over 5 times the weight of our yacht. So when you see a whale from Blue Dolphin you really see a whale!

Your skipper Peter has over 26 years experience with marine mammals, 14 years of which were spent as marine mammal trainer at Seaworld. During those years Peter was involved with saving many stranded marine mammals. You can rest assured that your day will be as informative as you like thanks to Peters experience and he welcomes all your questions so make sure you ask.

Award Winning Cataraman

Our award winning Blue Dolphin catamaran is 10.5 metres long and 7 metres wide with ample room to move around for optimum viewing of this season whale watching tours – a full 360 degrees view!

Our Blue Dolphin catamaran is very stable and gentle with shaded viewing areas for your comfort.

Blue Dolphin offers almost eye to eye viewing with the whales and dolphins, the only one of its kind in Hervey Bay, Queensland!

On board Blue Dolphin you are well away from the large noisy crowd usually associated with whale watch encounters. Survey for the boat is over 30 passengers but we limit numbers to 24 for passenger comfort. By limiting the number of passengers it allows for you to have a more personal relationship with the whales and the crew, which is necessary for a true eco-tourism experience.

Ben Southall visits Hervey Bay

Ben Southall, the “Best Job in the World” winner visits Hervey Bay for a whale watching trip on Blue Dolphin!

“Only ten minutes out of the marina and Robby, one of the local Hervey Bay tourism representatives, cries out “eleven o’clock guys…I’m sure I saw a spout!”…and sure enough there it was, the  distinctive spray of a whale on the horizon. Pete turned our boat into the wind and waves and made for the disturbance on the horizon slowly but surely closing the gap between us and them.
As we approached it was clear to see there were two whales, one mother and one much smaller calf cruising south and as they did so the young beast, still a size-able 5 metres in length, broke the surface of the ocean with a series of breaches, tail slaps and launches into the air….all resulting in a mass of foam and spray, to the amusement of all on board! Cameras clicked, tape rolled and everybody ooo’d and ahhh’d delighted by the immediate success of the mission”
