Whale Season in Hervey Bay

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Yes folks the whale watching season in Hervey Bay has started and it definitely promises to be a bumper season this year. There have been whales up at the north end of the Bay for several weeks now and this young whale was one of the first to be spotted.

Like any youngster it wanted to play and when the crew on Whalesong approached caught this photo it was playing with a pod of dolphins.

Here at Aquavue whale season is always a big time for bookings so if you want some guidance on which of the many Hervey Bay whale cruises suits you best come in and talk to Kylie or me and we can get you onto the next available cruise.

Dolphins in Hervey Bay

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Here in Hervey Bay we’re at the start of what promises to be one of the whale watching seasons ever and the whales are already out there. I spotted a couple last week when I was up at the north end of the bay.

But whales aren’t the only marine creatures that you’ll see out in Hervey Bay. On the same trip I caught this dolphin having fun right beside the boat.

You don’t always have to go out into the bay to see these wonderful creatures either. On several mornings last week large dolphins were spotted swimming just 50 metres off the beach right in front of the cafe. So come down for an early cuppa or breakfast at Aquavue and you never know what might pop up out there in the water.

Happy Birthday Ben

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

… or how to show you’re a real man at 14,000 feet.

Last week Ben, one of regular crew members here at Aquavue turned 21 and he was looking at that milestone as the point in his life where he became a real man. So we decided that perhaps it was time to put him to the acid test and see whether he had what it takes to step out of plane at 14,000 feet and go skydiving over Hervey Bay.

To Ben’s great relief … and to the delight of the crowd that gathered at Aquavue to see him land … Ben made a perfect landing right in front of the cafe … looking only slightly more white than his tshirt.

Now that wasn’t so bad was it Ben?

If you’d like the biggest adrenaline rush you’ve ever had then come in to Aquavue and book your skydiving adventure. It will be something that you’ll never forget!

It’s Raining in Hervey Bay

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Soemtimes a little rain is good although it’s not so good when it rains during the school holidays here in Hervey Bay. However better weather is forecast for tomorrow and we’ll certainly be ready for it and lots of people will want to be sitting out on the deck enjoying a little bit of sunshine.

This was the view driving down Boat Harbour Drive early this morning.

By the way, we’ve got a new blend of coffee here at Aquavue so why not come down tomorrow and try a cup. Some of our hardcore coffee drinking regulars have given it a big thumbs up.
