Queensland Whale Watching

Mikat Whale Watching Hervey Bay

Overview

Join Us Aboard Mikat Whale Watch Safari for an unforettable Experience...

M.V. Mikat invites you to settle back and relax as you depart from the Great Sandy Straits Marina to Moon Point on Fraser Island, where you will enter the Hervey Bay Marine Park to enjoy a day amongst the Humpback Whales. Seldom in a lifetime is anyone offered an opportunity to come face to face with the fifth largest animal that has ever lived on this planet, the mighty Humpback Whale. 

The Humpback Whale is the most playful of all the large whales and the most acrobatic, as they can leap clear of the water - but also the most gentlest, as they approach the vessel in a gesture of friendship and trust.

The sight of the first Humpback Whale for the day is an unforgettable experience, to see an animal weighing some 45,000kg or an equivalent weight of 11 elephants is breathtaking.

But that's merely the beginning of your Whale Watch Safari. There are more whales to see and more behavior patterns to enjoy, breaching, spy-hopping, tail and pec-slapping and the very popular socialising, when some whales become as inquisitive about us as we are about these gentle giants from Antarctica.
