Best Times to Visit

Hervey Bay boasts a perfect climate all year round. Most Hervey Bay accommodation places are minutes, if not seconds from the beach. The best time to visit is up to the individual, but here is a brief guideline that may help you.

Whale Watch Season ­ Mid July to Early November

The Whale Watch season runs through the core winter months of Hervey Bay. The temperatures are quite mild but are found to be very pleasant to visitors that are used to much colder weather than Sunny Queensland offers. Most whale watch companies offer courtesy pick up from the Hervey Bay accommodation listings we have chosen. This time of year is most popular to visitors who have made the trek to see the whales and explore Fraser Island. The fishing is also very good around this time of year with the winter whiting in abundance.

Summer ­ December to February

The summer months in Hervey Bay are quite warm and are great for the outdoor lifestyle that Hervey Bay promotes. Endless days on the beach just seconds from your Hervey Bay accommodation or a day out on the water are both great ways to spend your time during this time of year.

Easter ­ Mid April

This is a popular time for caravanning in the Bay. The annual pilgrimage from southern caravaners arrive for a couple of weeks with their Hervey Bay accommodation towed behind them! There are many caravan parks throughout Hervey Bay. Try and stick to the waterfront parks if possible. This time of year has become an annual tradition for many travellers over decades and is a great time of year to visit.
