The Ultimate Guide to Whale Watching in Byron Bay

As the most easterly point on the Australian mainland, Byron Bay offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles: the annual whale migration along the Humpback Highway.

Every year, from May through November, more than 25,000 humpback whales travel up and down the east coast of Australia on their migratory path from Antarctica. Byron Bay, with its warm waters and stunning coastal vistas, becomes a prime location for witnessing these majestic creatures as they breach and blow.
