WHALE WATCHING CRUISE          

A whale watching trip aboard Quick Cat II with Skipper Brian Perry, wife Jill and daughter Sarah is likely to be a family affair – Brian skippers and whips up the homemade muffins and bakery delights, Jill lends a hand on deck and in the office and their daughter Sarah is the first female skipper in Hervey Bay. 

The Perry family pioneered whale watching in Hervey Bay some 23 years ago and, in 2009, have partnered with Kingfisher Bay to deliver advanced eco-accredited half-day tours direct from Fraser Island to Platypus Bay – where the whales bask in the warm waters just a short cruise from the resort.

The lifecycle of the Southern Humpback whale brings them into the Fraser Coast, Australia’s top whale watching destination, where they rest and socialise in the sheltered lee of Fraser Island, many staying for as long as five days, some staying for only a day.

   

Quick Cat II is equipped with a hydrophone, allowing guests to listen to the live underwater sounds of the male humpback composers and an underwater viewing camera, which beams images onto screens around the boat. 

You'll also enjoy expert commentary; home-made morning tea provided; Children’s activity booklet; Wheel chair and pram access; Advanced Ecotourism accreditation; whale information available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Available: August to October.
