From May to November the waters along the NSW coastline will become a living, moving spectacle as more than 20,000 whales make their annual migration. This winter follow a do-it-yourself whale trail along 2000km of scenic coastline between the Tweed and Eden offering a multitude of vantage points and experiences to spot these majestic mammals.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said: “Whale watching is one of the most popular activities for visitors to Sydney and NSW, with more than 237,000 visitors enjoying a whale or dolphin experience in 2015*. The state boasts a huge variety of whale watching opportunities from islands, lighthouses, lookouts, foreshores and national parks right along the coast,” he said.
Destination NSW CEO Sandra Chipchase added “I encourage everyone to take full advantage of this special time of year and go whale watching in NSW. Don't miss The Eden Whale Festival which is held on the last weekend of October celebrating the annual migration offering visitors the chance to have a close encounter with a whale, while enjoying Eden's stunning natural environment and rich whale history.”
