Whale watching in New South Wales is a thrilling and awe-inspiring activity that allows visitors to witness the annual migration of majestic whales along the state's coastline. From May to November, thousands of humpback whales undertake their journey from Antarctic waters to the warmer breeding grounds in Queensland.

Sydney, with its iconic harbour and coastline, provides opportunities to spot whales right in the heart of the city. Popular spots like Bondi Beach, North Head, and Cape Solander offer panoramic views and regular sightings of these magnificent creatures.

Byron Bay, located in the state's far north, is renowned for its excellent whale watching experiences. The Cape Byron Lighthouse, situated on Australia's easternmost point, offers a prime vantage point for observing humpback whales as they pass by in close proximity to the coastline.

Jervis Bay, on the South Coast, is another hotspot for whale watching. Its crystal-clear waters provide ideal conditions for spotting not only humpback whales but also other species like southern right whales and even orcas.
