You’re on board a 20 metre ocean-going catamaran that will handle the generally calm waters of Hervey Bay with ease. Join us, settle back and relax as the M.V. Mikat takes you from the Great Sandy Straits Marina to Moon Point on Fraser Island, where you will enter the Hervey Bay Marine Park to enjoy your day amongst the Humpback Whales. After a cup of coffee or tea we will give you an informative talk about the whales and dolphins you are about to meet. Not just textbook information, but very much our own experiences since 1987, the very beginning of whale watching in Hervey Bay. To see an animal weighing some 45,000 kg or an equivalent weight of 11 elephants is educational, breathtaking, entertaining and for some, emotional. The M.V. Mikat is a very stable, air conditioned catamaran which has two superb walk around viewing decks, covered aft decks and a spacious bow for photography and filming these magnificent creatures. The comfortable lounge has a library of whale, dolphin and shark books and videos of Humpback Whales in Hervey Bay.
