Whale Watching Byron Bay

Over the last couple of weeks we have witnessed a significant number of humpback whales heading south past Byron Bay. It is almost one way traffic with encounters with northward bound whales becoming few and far between.

Many of the pods Whale Watching Byron Bay has encountered have been highly active with plenty of tail throws, slaps and of course breaching. This is probably due to competitive behavior amongst males attempting to prove themselves to the females.

Whale song has been clear and loud over the hydrophone which is also evidence of male competitive behavior. On a recent tour a whale was singing so loud we could here their sounds coming through the hull of the vessel.

The Byron Bay whale watching season is at its best from now until the end of October so make sure you don’t miss this amazing event.
