Whale Watching Byron Bay
|
Byron Bay is the most Easterly point in Australia and every year between May and November Humpback Whales migrate in their thousands past our shores. You can experience this wonder from land or sea either by boat or Kayak. The Cape Byron Lighthouse is one of the best vantage points to view these charismatic animals as they make there way north each winter to mate and calf in the sub-tropical waters of the north. Groups of young males typically lead the pod while pregnant cows and cow-calf pairs bring up the rear. Most spectacular of the whale behaviors, breaches are when the whale jumps clear of the water. It is quite common to witness this along with Chin Slapping and flippering in the Bay with many sightings of whales frolicking close to shore.

Migaloo - Rare White Humpback Whale Migaloo was the only known all-white humpback whale and is known to be a true albino. First sighted in 1991, Migaloo was affectionately named after an indigenous Australian word for "white fella" by Byron Bay locals. In 2011 amazing footage emerged of a 100% all white baby humpback calf. This new white whale has been unofficially named MJ (Migaloo Junior).
