Amazing sightings

Saw multiple whales breaching and tail-slapping. Bit of swell out there but the skipper positioned us perfectly for photos. Loved it.

Whales put on a show!

We had humpbacks breaching right beside the boat — mums and calves waving their fins. The crew clearly knew where to find them. Magical morning.

Bucket-list whale watching

Humpbacks everywhere, a calf breaching over and over. The commentary really added to it. Warm, friendly crew and a very comfortable boat.

Great morning on the water

Plenty of whale activity and a knowledgeable crew. Would have liked a touch longer out there but a wonderful experience overall.

Humpbacks stole the show

These gentle giants breached so close we got soaked and did not care one bit. The guides were fantastic with the kids too.

Better than I imagined

We saw more whales than I ever expected — breaching, spy-hopping, the lot. The crew were brilliant and even guaranteed a sighting. Do it!

About Whale Watching Tour

Operated by Byron Bay Whale Watching · 3 Hours · Byron Bay, NSW

Set out from Byron Bay on the only whale watching boat tour launching from the beach, guided by a marine scientist who knows exactly what to look for. As you head offshore, keep your eyes on the water for humpback whales cruising along the coast on their epic annual migration, with the chance to see breaches, tail slaps and curious close passes.

This is a true Byron experience, too: you’ll board from the beach, so expect a splash underfoot and wear something you don’t mind getting wet. Out on the water, listen for whale song through the hydrophone, feel the salt spray on your face and take in the coastline from a whole new angle. With a whale watching guarantee in place, you can relax and enjoy the ride knowing the crew is committed to getting you back out there if the whales don’t show. If you’re ready for a sea safari with real local know-how, this is the one to book.

Know before you go: - The meeting point is the shop at 5 Marvell Street, right in central Byron Bay. - You may need to wade through water when boarding the boat, so wear shorts, roll-up trousers or swimwear. - Bring a waterproof jacket, sun hat, warm layers, a change of clothes and your camera. - This experience is not suitable for pregnant travellers or guests with certain back, heart, lung or related medical conditions. - If you’re prone to seasickness, bring tablets with you before arrival, as the crew can’t administer medication. - Tours may be rescheduled if conditions aren’t suitable, with safety always coming first.
