Can I go whale watching on Straddie?
Land based whale watching is extremely popular on the Island as the headland at Point Lookout is approximately 35m above sea level, where excellent views are obtained. Humpback whales can be seen between June and November from a number of vantage points. Each year in the Southern Hemisphere humpback whales migrate from their summer Antarctic feeding grounds, along Australia’s continental coastline to tropical regions to breed and calve in winter.
