Whale Watching Cruise

Visitors of Kingfisher Bay Resort can enjoy close encounters with these gentle giants in the sheltered, calm waters of the Great Sandy Strait, with whales often approaching the boats for a memorable show. There's a reason the waters between Hervey Bay and the west coast of K'gari have been named the whale watching capital of the world.
