The Beach in Hervey Bay …

Posted on January 8th, 2009 | No Comments »

… is definitely the place to be this summer.

It’s been crazy here at Aquavue since Christmas and there’s just no sign of it letting up. The cafe has been full, the jet ski tours to Fraser Island have been running and our jet ski hire has been very popular too.

But then that’s what we expect it to be like because the beach is definitely the place to be in Hervey Bay and you’ll see lots of people down here. Even early in the morning the beach is popular with everyone from workmen to people doing workouts and there were even people in the water swimming.

I grabbed this shot just up the beach from Aquavue at around 7am yesterday morning.

Our sign out on the street here at Aquavue in Hervey Bay was really getting beyond it’s use-by date so we decided that it was time to have a sign that really showed some of the fun you can have here at Aquavue.

So here it is – you won’t miss the entrance anymore :)

There Are Still Whales in Hervey Bay

Posted on October 27th, 2008 | No Comments »

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.

Dropping into Aquavue for a Coffee

Posted on October 22nd, 2008 | No Comments »

You may not think that dropping into the best beachfront cafe in Hervey Bay could be all that exciting. After all, most people walk in from the street or come up from the beach and there’s nothing all that exciting about that now is there?

Well last week one young lady decided that when she dropped into Aquavue for a coffee she really did want to drop in … from 14,000 feet.

With a whoop of excitement she came in over the tables … catching a few customers by surprise … and landed on the beach right in front of the cafe.

If you want a little excitement in your day then give us a call … we can book your sky diving visit to Aquavue so you can add that dash of adrenalin to one of our great coffees.

The Other Side of Aquavue

Posted on September 28th, 2008 | No Comments »

What a great day it was here in Hervey Bay yesterday – plenty of sunshine and nice calm waters definitely made the beach the place to be. The jet ski hire was popular and so was something else that we offer here at Aquavue.

I just realised that when I talk about life here at Aquavue I often illustrate it with photos taken on the beach side of the cafe so today I thought I’d show you the other side of Aquavue. It’s another early morning shot with the sun coming through the trees.

There’s something about the sunlight and the gum trees that I like. Palm trees are fine but when I think of Australia the gum trees are always there linked in my thoughts.

That shot also shows that something else that’s very popular here at Aquavue … the bikes. If you don’t want to get your feet wet then taking one of our family bikes for a spin along the 17km of bike track that runs along behind the beach is a great way to have fun.

It seems that a lot of people agree with me because those bikes are very popular.

Things Are Hotting Up

Spring has definitely arrived here in Hervey Bay and the temperature is rising. Last Sunday was an absolutely amazing day with lots of people enjoying our great meals and coffee in the cafe and plenty of people out on the water too in our kayaks and jet skis.

This coming weekend looks like being more of the same so if you want to get out and have a great time here in Hervey Bay Aquavue Cafe Watersports is definitely the place to come.

Mornings in particular are magical here and even though the cafe isn’t open when the sun is coming up you the deck is open to anyone who wants see a sunrise like this one. That’s Fraser Island on the horizon.

What You Can Do When You Hire a Jet Ski

Posted on August 17th, 2008 | No Comments »

With the weather warming up here in Hervey Bay we’re reaching the stage where there’s going to be a lot more interest in the jet ski hire side of our business here at Aquavue. Our jet ski hire is really very popular but we do get some people who wonder just what they can do with out jet skis.

Well firstly let me say that if you hire a jet ski from us you will be required to operate within a set area. While no marine licence is required you will receive all the instructions you need to safely operate on of our jet skis. As part of those instructions you will be shown the area where you can play and once you reach that designated area then you can get out and tear up the water just like these two are doing.
