Whale Watch Tours -Half or Full Day (Aug to late October)

Fraser Island is regarded as Australia's number one whale-watching destination (and the Worlds First Whale Heritage National Park). The humpbacks don't just pass by each August through October - they're taking time out here to socialise, have some fun and nurture their young. For whale watchers it really is a case of who's watching whom on these magical days out. New 'Swim with the Whales' experience available. The humpbacks glide up to the boats and put on an almighty show - slapping their tails, waving their pec fins and breaching into the air for a truly larger-than-life spectacle.
