WOW, WOW and WOW ! What an experience! We departed 830am on 'The Spirit' (late Oct11). With high speed (which meant more whale watching time) we headed along the coast of Fraser Island with gr8 informative & comical commentary (but not too much - which was gr8). OMG! Where to begin? We saw whales with their calves - breaching and... More

We recently did the whale watching trip out of Kingfisher Bay resort with Quick Cat 2 (organized by the resort) and it was TERRIBLE - shocking service and attitude and staff that generally knew nothing about whales. Spirit of Hervey Bay is so much better More

I would recommend this company and boat to everyone. They were very friendly and helpful to everyone and we saw heaps of whales. The crew were great, the boat is fast and very modern. There is a great rooftop viewing deck and plenty of room on all decks for everyone to get good photos, the front of the boat has... More

We took the trip in August with children and grandparents and had a fantastic time. The first few hours were very quiet and then a few of the whales became curious and had us running all over the boat spotting them as they swam from one side to the other. It was extremely specatular seeing them come out of the... More

We had a great morning out and spotted about a dozen whales. The whales didn't jump out of the water..I think that rarely happens and pictures on websites and brochures for all tour operators are just a marketing tactic. Boat and crew were great. I have to say that we were dissappointed that they stopped giving free coffee and tea... More

I dont think i would go again though as once you have done it ther wouldnt be much to do. But very clean pristine and friendly More

We went whale watching for the first time and loved it. We went twice on our five day stay in Hervey Bay and on two different boats. I would highly recommend the Spirit of Hervey Bay, top class boat, very friendly staff and a great day out on the Bay.. Saw quite a few whales coming quite close to us... More
