Whale Watching Australia
Terrigal provides one of the best whale watching experiences in Australia. The geography of the area means that the whales travel very close to our coastline. It is a short trip to their path and they are easy to find. We have elevated lookouts which allow us to locate the whales. Drones are used to assist in locating the whales and to gather photography for research and enjoyment. The whales are migrating so they are very active. Breaching whales and mating behaviours are very common. Our protected bays provide great nursery areas for the mothers and calves as they pull in to rest and feed. Whilst Humpback whales are the predominant species we also see Southern Right Whales, Brydes Whales, Minke Whales. Rare sightings include Pygmy Blue Whales and Orcas.
