Whale watching is a popular pastime bringing spectators into the natural environment of Humpback Whales for a magical encounter. From the south to north and back again, the world's largest marine mammals make the annual migration from Antarctica to the warmer waters of Australia and New Zealand every year.  And while thousands of whales make the trek north, so do thousands of curious humans hoping for a breathtaking glimpse of the graceful animals who birth and raise their young before returning to Antarctica. With a myriad of popular whale watching locations across the Pacific you can enjoy a magical whale watching cruise from Hervey Bay, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Kaikoura in New Zealand,  and everywhere in between. Simply browse the range of available whale watching experiences here and prepare yourself for an unforgettable wildlife encounter.
