Hervey Bay . . . The Tourism Capital of Australia!
Boasting one of the fastest growing populations in Australia, Hervey Bay is renowned as the Whale Watching Capital of the World and as the gateway to World Heritage-listed Fraser Island. Offering access to multiple islands, adventure, wildlife and a beautiful safe aquatic playground for visitors to the Fraser Coast, the foreshore of Hervey Bay, offers fourteen kilometres of shared pedestrian, wheelchair and bicycle pathways.
In perfect stinger-free water, enjoy kayaking, yachting, diving, water and jet skiing, wind surfing and snorkelling. Boating and fishing enthusiasts enjoy estuary, beach, jetty, reef and game fishing.
Between mid-July and early-November whales can be sighted breaching and playfully chasing each other in the warm waters off shore. Visitors can choose an aerial tour or take one of the many day-long or half day whale watch cruises, which depart from Hervey Bay Marina daily during the season.
From Hervey Bay escorted tours to Fraser Island depart daily or self-drive packages are available with a flight or barge crossing option. Hervey Bay is also a major access point for Lady Elliot Island, first of the Islands of The Great Barrier Reef, with flights running several times a day.
Visitors to Hervey Bay can choose from a range of accommodation styles, catering for all tastes and budgets. Several of the accommodation houses, attractions and general facilities are also accessible for people with disabilities.
