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
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.
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.
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.
Well we’ve had a couple of days of not so nice weather here in Hervey Bay but the weekend is ahead of us and the forecast is a little more promising so it’s time to get out and have some fun on the water.
Last time I showed you some video of the fun you could have with our jet ski hire and this time I want to show you a short video of the fun you can have on the Banana from Aquavue Cafe Watersports. All safety gear is provided and the tow vessel is manned by experienced staff from Aquavue so you’ll be quite safe and you’ll have a lot of fun too.
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.
It’s all about having all the fun you can handle when you hire a jet ski from us here at Aquavue in Hervey Bay
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.
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.
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.
