While two of the regular whale watching vessels have moved on to other things there are still plenty of big whales out in Hervey Bay and some of them have come a lot closer in than ever before.
On Saturday I was taking a jet ski tour over to Fraser Island and spotted a large whale out in the main channel off Shelley Beach and the furthest whales usually come into the bay is about Point Vernon.
The whale watching vessels that are still operating this season all suggest that they could be hard at work right though into early November so if you’re thinking of coming to Hervey Bay to see the whales then there’s still time this season and we can book you on the best cruises.
One of the most popular cruises that we can book you on is That’s Awesome and a ride in this vessel really is awesome … with 1200 HP to push it along this boat really moves.

I see that the Hervey Bay Gossip is carrying a brief story about manta rays today and they mention that the rays have been seen in the waters around Hervey Bay.
We can certainly attest to that; Marcus, one of the members of the team here at Aquavue, was paddling out in the bay several months ago and spotted two big manta rays swimming underneath him. They’re certainly a very unusual creature and can be quite awe inspiring.
All this week we’ve had an interesting vessel moored out in Hervey Bay. I’m not sure whether it could be called a house boat or not because it certainly comes a little better equipped than your average house boat.
It’s interested people other than just me too. Several of those who have used our jet ski hire and beach hire service to hire jetskis and kayaks have headed in that direction to have a closer look.
