Whales migrate past Tangalooma Island every year from June to October!
- During this period, the whales travel north from Antarctica to the warmer waters of Queensland on the east coast of Australia to give birth and then travel south with their calves.
-
Moreton Island is on the migration path, also know as the "Humpback Highway" of several whale species during the winter. While the Humpback Whale is the most frequently seen, other species, including Southern Right Whales, Pilot Whales, Minke Whales, and even False Killer Whales have been spotted on whale watching cruises. - Cape Moreton's highest point offers an excellent vantage point for families to witness the annual whale migration from land. With the humpback whale population flourishing, you are almost guaranteed to spot 20-30 whales and their calves in just a few hours during the peak of migration.
- Whale watching tours depart from Tangalooma Island Resort, which offers a range of packages to suit different budgets and preferences.
