Whale Watching

BUNDABERG WHALE WATCHING TOURS JULY - NOVEMBER

Each year, the pristine waters off Bundaberg come alive with majestic southern humpback whales from July to November.

Witness this incredible journey in person, be in awe as these leviathans feed, mate and play off Bundaberg during their mighty migration from Antarctica up the southern coastline of Australia.

ABOUT THE HUMPBACK WHALES

Each year, fat from a summer of feeding on krill in Antarctic waters, thousands of humpback whales migrate north to subtropical waters to mate and give birth. The epic journey of up to 10 000 kilometres is led by groups of young males before the adult breeding animals arrive, including the pregnant cows and cow-calf pairs.

The safe warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef are the ideal calving waters for humpback whales. The tropical waters are ideal for the young calves with little body fat as they bond with their mothers and learn essential survival skills.

Enjoy the cheeky antics of the curious juveniles, and stand in awe as mothers teach their calves the skills they need for their return to the Southern Ocean for summer.

ABOUT BUNDABERG’S WHALE WATCHING TOURS

Travel with Lady Musgrave Experience on a 4 hour cruise on board the luxury catamaran Main Event. Enjoy spectacular uninterrupted views of the humpback whales at play from the 360-degree viewing decks, with informative commentary. Morning tea and a light lunch is included in the air conditioned comfort of the 4-level high speed catamaran.

WHALES ON THE SOUTHERN GREAT BARRIER REEF

With Bundaberg the gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef, combine your whale watching experience with an overnight stay or day trip to Lady Musgrave Island or Lady Elliot Island.

Swim with giant turtles and see extraordinary coral in the warm winter waters of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, to the sounds of whale songs.
