Whale watching calendar
Humpback whales also feed in the krill-rich Antarctic waters during summer and migrate north for winter. In the Fraser Coast region, the whales can also be seen heading north between mid-June and early August, before they reach the warm sheltered waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where they give birth to their calves and mate again. Then, from mid-August to mid-November, the whales also turn south and large numbers of the population, including mothers with new-born calves, enter the sheltered waters of Hervey Bay to rest and play before continuing the long journey back to the Antarctic. Furthermore, in 2012, the humpback whale population migrating along the east coast was estimated to be 17,000 whales. Around 25 percent of this population visits Hervey Bay each year, that’s up to 4000 whales.
