SUMMARY:Across the Region: Hervey Bay Whale Festival
DESCRIPTION:The annual Hervey Bay Whale Festival is returning in 2026! \nThere are few places in the world that compare to the awe-inspiring\, soul-stirring\, up-close whale watching encounters that you will find in Hervey Bay. \nBetween July and October\, thousands of humpback whales travel the ‘humpback highway’ and arrive in the calm\, protected waters of Hervey Bay. Unlike any other place along the ‘humpback highway’\, the whales will stop and spend up to 10 days resting\, socialising and playing before continuing their trip back to the Antarctic for the summer months. \nThis unique relationship gives reason to celebrate each year with the Hervey Bay Whale Festival. An eclectic event to recognise the importance of the ocean to Hervey Bay and promote the conservation of the marine environment and animals that are unique and important to our region. \nFIND OUT MORE
