Byron Bay Whale Watching

Byron Bay Whale Watching Whale Watching tours launched from The Pass in Byron Bay, NSW Byron Bay is famous as one of the most popular whale watching locations in Australia.

Each June/July Humpback whales travel past Byron Bay, Australia's most easterly point, on their annual migration from Antarctica to their breeding grounds off the Great Barrier Reef. Then in September/October the same humpback whales return with their newborn calves. Whale Watching Byron Bay is the only whale watching tour operator departing directly from Byron Bay. This allows us the quickest acc

ess to the Humpback whale migration on the Australian east coast. Whale Watching Byron Bay has been operating since 2002 making us Byron Bay’s most experienced whale watching tour operator. Over the years we have developed a tour that will provide you with a safe, informative and rewarding experience.

Belly exposed, or backside up - which one is your favourite?

Tail Slapping is thought to be one of the many ways Humpback Whales communicate.
It can be repeated for a lengthy amount of time, and creates a distinguished sound that can travel far in the water column.

If you see a whale tail slapping at the surface, make sure to scan the area - it's not unusual to spot a different whale imitating the behaviour in response!

Unforgettable encounter in Byron Bay ✨🐋
Today we had one of those magical wildlife moments...
Two curious humpback whales came right up to our boat and stayed with us swimming around, showing their bellies, watching us just as much as we watched them, and even blowing bubbles! 💙🌊

Humpback whales are one of the greatest success stories in marine conservation, and seeing them up close is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we protect our oceans.

📽️ Check out our next reel for the underwater footage. You don’t want to miss it!

Breaching is the most energy-consuming act in the animal kingdom 😮 and humpback whales have been putting on an incredible show this season! 🐋💥
We’ve been lucky to see them breaching right in front of us. Pure power, pure magic.

It’s still peak season, join one of our small-group tours and experience it up close. 🌊
Every ticket also supports our marine conservation projects. 💙
