As the 2025 whale season approaches, excitement builds for the incredible spectacle that awaits along the coastline. With an estimated 50,000 humpback whales migrating past our shores, accompanied by minke whales, southern right whales, and the tantalizing possibility of spotting blue whales and orcas, this season promises to be one of wonder and awe.
Why the Central Coast is Perfect for Whale Watching
The Central Coast is a perfect location for whale watching. The migration path passes close to our shore and we have many great vantage points. This allows for incredible sightings and unique encounters right on our doorstep. The Central Coast isn’t just a migration waypoint; it provides essential habitat, showcasing a range of unexpected behaviours such as courtship, calving, and even feeding. Located just 60 minutes north of Sydney but a world away from the chaos of Sydney Harbour.
