The state’s tourism minister Stuart Ayres says: ‘Whale-watching is one of the most popular activities for visitors to Sydney and New South Wales, 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, look-outs, foreshores, and national parks right along the coast.’
Destination NSW CEO Sandra Chipchase adds: ‘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 and offering visitors the chance to have a close encounter with a whale.’
Where to see the whales:
- Spend a couple of days whale-watching from one of the 1920-1950's eco-certified beach shacks in the Cape Byron Conservation Area.

- See whales from the air in Sydney with Blue Sky Helicopters on a 60-minute flight over Botany Bay and Cape Banks, heading north up the coast towards Palm Beach and Broken Bay.
- Jervis Bay has land- and sea-based whale-watching options.
- Eden on the Sapphire Coast … where whales stop in the calm waters of Two Fold Bay.
