Entering the tranquil and sheltered waters of Moreton Bay has become an annual ritual for many whales seeking refuge to mate and give birth. Embarking on their yearly migration through the crystalline depths of South East Queensland, Southern humpback whales are expected to grace the region with their majestic presence from June until early November.

Each day brings unique sightings so every expedition with Brisbane Whale Watching is sure to be an adventure.

Whilst the spotlight naturally falls on humpback whales, participants might also witness pods of dolphins gracefully leaping and playing alongside their vessel, accompanied by an astonishing array of marine life.
