DESCRIPTION: This morning Dolphin Watching Cruise is on the waters of the Great Sandy Straits by Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. Here we look for the bottlenose dolphins and the indo-pacific humpback dolphins. Both of these species reside in small residential pods and are found around Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. The waters are also home to dugongs, turtles, seabirds and other marine life.
Our dolphin watching tours started back in December 1996 and we have maintained a 95% success rate and even better for finding the dolphins. The cruise lasts for around 4 hours and morning tea is provided. During summer and weather permitting we also manage a swim on one of the shallow sand banks.
The bottlenose dolphin is the better known of the two species and we now have about 25 individuals we can recognized by their dorsal fin. The indo-pacific humpback is a little bit smaller and a little harder to find and photograph them can be a difficult task but can be well worth it. Most guests have never seen this species before so it is always a good day when we see them.
This is a truly magical experience that everyone is guaranteed to enjoy!
