Whale Watching - Things to do in Sydney this weekend
Whale, hello there! 👋 🐋✨ Each year from May to November, more than 40,000 humpback and southern right whales make their way along Sydney’s coastline in their annual migration from Antarctica to the warmer waters of the Pacific. June is peak whale watching season and humpback whales are passing Sydney as we speak on their northern migration from Antarctic waters. In NSW, it’s common to see humpback whales, southern right whales and dolphins, but you may also spot orcas, blue whales, minke whales and sperm whales. Cape Solander in Kamay Botany Bay National Park, the cliff-top walking trails from Bondi to Coogee and the Federation Cliff Walk from Dover Heights to Watsons Bay are excellent vantage points where you can see these giants of the deep at play. Alternately you can jump on the ferry to Manly for the North Head lookout, where whales can often be spotted, or head further north to Bangalley Head at Avalon Beach and Barrenjoey Lighthouse at Palm Beach, which are fantastic day trips with walking trials and spectacular views. If you want to get even closer to these majestic creatures, then hop aboard a whale-watching cruise, which depart daily from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and Manly.
