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! Whale watching from Hervey Bay is second to none, it truly is like no other place. Experience whale watching at its best from the whale watching capital of world.

I have been whale watching in a different location. This was best . So many whales, got some of the best photos with out even trying. Saw a breach but was too far. Staff were excellent, not over crowded. Both my partner and I have a disability we did have go outside or top of boat to get a view of a life time.

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.
