When Should You Visit Hervey Bay?
Hervey Bay is beautiful year-round, but each season offers its own unique highlights. Known for its calm waters, relaxed lifestyle and spectacular natural attractions, the timing of your trip can shape the experiences you enjoy most — from whale watching, to beach days, to exploring K’gari (Fraser Island).
Winter brings crisp mornings and sunny days, making it a favourite for travellers chasing mild, pleasant weather. Summer delivers warm coastal energy, perfect for pool days and coastal adventures. And of course, one of the most magical times to visit is whale season, when Hervey Bay becomes home to the world’s most unforgettable whale encounters.
Whale Season – The Unmissable Highlight
From July to October, Hervey Bay transforms into the whale watching capital of Australia. Humpback whales use the bay as a safe haven to rest and play, offering incredibly close, calm and emotional encounters. It’s one of the only places in the world where whales truly interact rather than simply pass by. During this time, accommodation books out quickly — so planning ahead is essential.
Anytime you visit, Hervey Bay offers relaxation, adventure and unforgettable coastal beauty.
