Whale Watching Cruises Near Brisbane
From around mid July to November the majestic Humpback Whales make their way from the cold, Antarctic waters to the warm waters of the Queensland tropics for calving.
You can sit on many east coast beaches and watch the whales pass but once they hit Moreton and Hervey Bay the whales stop to rest, play and to bond with their newborn calves. The young whales, calves, also begin to learn the essentials skills of survival.
Whale watching cruises operate everyday during these months and are a great way to watch these whales frolicking in their natural habitat.
You may also spot other marine animals such as pods of playful dolphins, green turtles, logger head turtles and the rare Dugong.
