Hervey Bay

Fronting beautiful ocean waters, this suburb in Hervey Bay is lined with beachfront parks and provides the launching point for whale-watching adventures.

Stay in Urangan to enjoy easy access to the best of Hervey Bay’s marine wildlife and adventure activities. Spend peaceful days in the suburb’s cafés and parks.

Be amazed by humpback whales and their young as you look out to sea from a whale-watching boat. Many cruises offer a buffet lunch or sunset views. See the sun’s rays beautifully reflected in the waters of the Great Sandy Marine Park as evening falls.

Embark on an adventure to beautiful Fraser Island via the ferry service from Urangan Marina. Stay overnight in a wilderness retreat or secluded campsite. See wild dingoes or explore the waters of crystal-clear Lake McKenzie on this island paradise.

Walk along the historic Urangan Pier, which stretches almost 1 kilometre (0.6 miles) out to sea. Fish from the pier with the locals and cook your catch on the free barbecues at the adjacent Point Dayman Park.

Marvel at recreated reefs and jewel-coloured fish at Reefworld Aquarium nearby the park. Touch green sea turtles as they feed or experience swimming with sharks. Check the aquarium’s programme to find out about activities for children.

Relax in the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens in central Urangan. The gardens contain a collection of plants found in the surrounding islands and national parks. Enjoy the Chinese-themed garden or learn about traditional foods in the Aboriginal Bush Tucker Garden. Purchase a ticket to the Orchid House to be treated to a cup of tea or coffee and an incredible display of 20,000 orchid plants. Visit in spring or autumn to see the best collection of blooms.

Jump out of plane flying thousands of metres above sea level with Sky Dive Hervey Bay. Experience magnificent views over the landscape of forests, islands and water on a tandem jump with a qualified instructor.

Base yourself in beautiful Urangan to come home to a charming waterfront refuge after an exciting day of adventures in this magnificent region.
