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.

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.

Dolphin Watching Tours
The morning Dolphin Cruise is on the waters of the Great Sandy Straits by Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. Here we look for the bottlenose dolphins (aduncas) and the indo-pacific humpback dolphins (sousa chineses), which is a lesser known species. Both of these species reside in small residential pods of up to 20 and are found around Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. The waters are also home to dugongs, turtles, seabirds and other marine life.
Our dolphin watching tours started back in December 1996 and we have maintained a 90% to 95 % success rate for finding the dolphins.
The cruise lasts for around 4 hours and morning tea is provided. During summer and weather permitting we also manage a swim on one of the shallow sand banks.
