Settle back and relax with your morning tea as the 20 metre MV MIKAT takes you from the Hervey Bay Marina to Moon Point on Fraser Island where you will enter the generally calm waters of the Hervey Bay Marine Park. Our crew will give you an informative talk about whales and dolphins, not just text book facts but very much our much our own experiences.
The sight of the first humpback whale for the day is an unforgettable experience. To see an animal weighing some 45,000kgs or an equivalent weight of 11 elephants is breathtaking. We have to walk around viewing decks which is great for photos and videos.
There are more whales to see and more behaviour patterns to enjoy, breeching, spy-hopping, tail and pec-slapping and the very popular socialising.
All the time your helpful crew will try to explain what these whales are doing and why.
When time permits your crew will serve your complimentary buffet lunch which includes a glass of wine or juice.
We give you plenty of time to watch and learn about the whales.
