For the Ultimate whale watching experience cruise aboard the Spirit of Hervey Bay for an exhilarating interactive adventure with the mighty humpback whale. From late July to November the whales reach the sanctuary of Hervey Bay for some well earned rest, relaxation and fun, playful antics showing off to our delighted passengers.
Fast& luxurious the Spirit gets you to the whales playground in minimal time for maximum viewing pleasure with the whales. With close encounters being our specialty we offer a money back guarantee on sightings (8/10/11– 10/10/12) or another cruise free outside these dates.
The"Spirit of Hervey Bay" has two underwater viewing rooms located in the hulls of the vessel, each with four viewing windows. These windows allow you to get below the waterline and enjoy the whales in their natural environment. The whales have a very curious nature and often dive back and forth beneath the boat - its almost like they are toying with you. Such an intimate experience with these majestic creatures will take your breath away!
The"Spirit of Hervey Bay" is a catamaran. Specifically built for whale watching, the"Spirit" provides first class cruising and comfort for your whale watch outing. The"Spirit" is the first of it's kind in the world and offers a new and exciting way to watch the whales - through our unique underwater viewing rooms.
While you watch the whales swim beneath you in their underwater world you can also listen to their magical songs through a hydro phone located on board. It is a truly memorable event and one not to be missed.
The vessel has fully walk around upper and lower decks as well as the ever popular large tiered foredeck. We also have a large cabin area where you can sit on comfortable lounges and enjoy a light refreshment or snack from our galley. There is plenty of room for everyone with no over crowding.
