Whale watching

The city of Sydney is home to one of the most expansive natural harbours in the world, offering beautiful beaches, breath-taking scenery and an abundance of marine life. Whales are annual visitors to the shores of Sydney, spotted between late May to early November during their breeding migration from Antarctica. 

Humpback whales travel tens of thousands of kilometres from May until November, swimming between their winter breeding ground to the area they feed in summer – which just so happens to be the east coast of Australia.

That’s right folks, we Australian’s really are the lucky country, because we get to witness one of the longest whale migrations in the world – all just off the coast of Sydney!
