Whale watching in Port Stephens
-
Witness one of nature’s most incredible journeys in Port Stephens.
Thousands of humpback whales pass along our coastline each year during their annual migration from May to November. Port Stephens offers some of the best vantage points on the east coast to experience this unforgettable spectacle. Enjoy the view on land from Tomaree Head Summit, Barry Park or Boat Harbour Headland, or why not head out on a local cruise from Nelson Bay?
Join us this August for peak whale watching opportunities and make the most of your visit with local walking trails, cosy cafes, and winter adventures across the region.
Need tips on where to go and when?
Visit the Port Stephens Visitor Information Centre at 60 Victoria Parade, Nelson Bay, or call 1800 808 900 for expert advice, maps, and tour information.
