Check your exact holiday dates
Easter and Queensland school holidays can affect minimum stays, road traffic, tour availability and restaurant hours. Compare the official school calendar with your dates before reserving a room.
A relaxed April day
Pair a Botanic Gardens visit with a meal and short pier walk in Urangan. Choose the distance for your group and the weather. For a bigger outing, give a K’gari trip its own day.
Compare the cost of the whole stay
Look at the final room total, minimum nights, fees and cancellation terms on identical dates. Add airport and tour transfers if you will not have a car. The area guide helps keep repeated journeys short.
Visiting specifically for whales?
April is outside Hervey Bay’s usual July–October whale-watching season. If a humpback cruise is essential, choose your travel window from the whale-season guide and check operator dates before booking transport.
What to pack
Sun protection, walking shoes and a light evening layer. Save holiday opening hours and booking details offline.
