Gold Coast Whale Watching

Experience one of Australia’s most unforgettable wildlife encounters with Whale Watching on the Gold Coast. Every year from May through to late October, thousands of majestic humpback whales migrate along the Gold Coast coastline, with some whales still passing by in early November. This annual migration makes the Gold Coast one of the best whale watching destinations in Australia.
