What You Should Know About Whale Watching Byron Bay?

Experience the awe-inspiring presence of Humpback Whales up close aboard “Wardjam” our purpose built vessel. Listen to their incredible song with our onboard hydrophone and learn about Humpback behaviour from our on board marine biologist.

Between May and November each year over 30,000 Humpback whales migrate between their Summer feeding grounds in Antarctica and the warm waters of the tropics and the Great Barrier Reef. Byron Bay is the perfect place to experience the whales as they swim close to shore along our stunning coastline. 

Our on board marine biologist will be able to explain Humpback behaviour and tell you all about the lives of these incredible ocean giants.

“Wardjam” is a fast and stable Rigid inflatable boat with comfortable suspension  seating for 12 guests.

Used by military and police, our boat is perfect for getting to the whales quickly and safely for an intimate encounter with a small group. Our skipper is highly experienced having  filmed  whales around the world for documentary film and our guides have degrees in Marine science.

We usually encounter other marine species such as dolphins, turtles and migratory birds as well as the whales.

If no whales are sighted you are welcome to join the next tour free of charge, but with so many whales migrating this doesn`t really happen!

Tours depart from Brunswick Heads Boat harbour just 15 minutes North of Byron Bay.

Season Starts Again June 2026!

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!

Traveled to Cairns and took a day trip to Palm Cove where Charlotte helped create the best experience! I highly recommend working with her for any travel or vacation services.

So happy with the service and help I received from these guys, huge shout out to Tony ( absolute legend ) for helping me with all my questions and two bookings- fishing charter and 2 intro dives + snorkel with Divers den. I did a whale watching tour in Sydney, and then came here and while heading to the reef for the dive, we got to see a humpback whale breach the water at least a dozen times ! The first breach from this whale in cairns, would have beaten the whole tour in Sydney and it was an entire seperate experience as well (dive). Absolutely 1000% recommend these guys and any of their recommendations and advice when planning your trip and activities in cairns.

We had a wonderful experience. Niamh was incredibly kind and took the time to carefully prepare our trips to Green Island and the Kuranda Rainforest, including the train journey from the Shangri-La Hotel. Everything was seamless. highly recommend!
