The calm safe waters of Platypus Bay, on Fraser Island's western side, are a prime whale watching spot. On their migration south, whales stop to rest, play and nurture their calves in Hervey Bay.
Our Whales + Tour + Fraser package gives you two wonders in one; the humpback migration and World Heritage-listed Fraser.
In the pristine waters off Fraser Island Humpbacks aren't just passing through on their way to their breeding grounds - they're actually taking time out to socialise, have some fun, learn some essential lifeskills and nuture their young.
Holiday where the Humpbacks do, with our our special Fraser + Whales package. PLUS the action's just a short journey north from your base at Kingfisher Bay Resort.
