Whale Watching Tour

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.
