Welcome to Hervey Bay Tourist Centre

Situated in the regional city of Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast in Queensland, Australia, our tourist centre offers first class and personalised service – whether in person or online.

Famous for the best whale watching in the world, Hervey Bay is also the gateway to the world’s largest sand island of Fraser Island located just below the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef on Australia’s eastern coastline.
