Brisbane Whale Watching
With Brisbane’s gorgeous beaches and crystal clear waters, it’s no wonder whales love visiting the area on their annual 16,000-kilometre migration from The Antarctic to Australia’s warmer waters! The benefit of whale watching in Brisbane is that you also get to experience the beauty of the city and its surrounds too.
The South East coast of Queensland – including Brisbane – is known as the prime location for whale watching in Australia, so the chances of encountering these amazing mammals is extremely high. In fact, the chances are so high that most tour operators guarantee a spotting, or you’ll be entitled to your money back or a free follow-up tour! The most commonly spotted whale in Brisbane is the majestic Humpback Whale; however, other species are also spotted on this busy whale migration route. Because the whales come to Australia to breed, many people are lucky enough to see the mother whales with their newborn calves too, making the experience even more amazing!
With the huge variety of tour options on Tours To Go, you’ll be able to find the perfect whale watching tour to suit you, from a Moreton Bay or Bribie Island cruise to a visit to Stradbroke Island for some whale spotting fun and even a tour that incorporates a canal cruise. Whatever you desire in a whale watching experience, you’ll find it in the City of Sundays!
