Hervey Bay

A visit to Hervey Bay, Queensland with its splendid scenery, many attractions and adventure tours, has something for everyone. Hervey Bay weather is sun, sun and more sun allowing time for whale watching, a trip to Fraser Island, a walk through the surrounding national parks and collecting the many different coloured sands in the area.

Hire a car direct from the Hervey Bay airport, pick up your Hervey Bay map from the friendly Tourist Information Centre and enjoy your holiday.

Take a boat trip on a catamaran during July to November and be amazed at the number of humpback whales resting in Hervey Bay before their trek down the coast. A helicopter ride from Hervey Bay Airport will take you over beautiful Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, with its long beaches, freshwater lakes and old world forest.

With the idyllic Hervey Bay weather, have a swim in the crystal clear waters or climb one of the many large sand dunes. Take the kids to Golf'n'Games where there is a 120 metre long waterslide and mini-golf course or enjoy fish and chips on the foreshore of the Urangan Pier, once used as a busy coal port.

The Hervey Bay City Council has two sister cities in China and Japan. It manages one of the fastest growing centres in Australia, which is only 300 kilometres from Brisbane, Queensland's capital city. It is easily accessed by road, rail and air, with all types of short and long stay accommodation from 4 star hotels, to backpackers to stays on yachts.
