Whale watching from Brisbane, QLD takes place from June to November. As every year Humpback whales make their annual migration north. Escaping the cold waters of Antarctica for warmer, more tropical waters to birth their calves. This round trip migration can take over 10,000 km to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Australia’s East and West coasts are able to witness this beautiful journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humpback whales are a baleen whale which means their teeth act like a filter. When they eat, large amounts of water are taken in. Any food is kept behind while the water is pushed back through their baleen teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weighing up to 40 tonnes these gentle giants need a lot of food. They eat up to 1.5 tonnes of small fish and krill a day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being such a generous size you can see the whales from the beach. Especially when they are breaching out of the water! But it is a wonderful experience to get up closer to them in a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
