South Coast Whale Watching
Experience the Magic of South Coast Whale Watching
Welcome aboard for an unforgettable journey along one of Australia’s most spectacular whale watching coastlines! From the historic whaling town of Eden to the pristine waters off Merimbula, Tathra, Bermagui, and Narooma, the South Coast offers front-row seats to nature’s greatest marine spectacle.
Your Gateway Towns on the lower South Coast:
Eden – Once Australia’s last whaling station, this historic port town now celebrates these magnificent creatures through conservation and eco-tourism. Launch from Snug Cove and explore the same waters where the legendary killer whales of Eden once hunted alongside human whalers.
Merimbula – Known as the “jewel of the Sapphire Coast,” this charming seaside town offers sheltered bay departures and easy access to the continental shelf where whales gather to feed.
Tathra – Depart from the heritage-listed wharf and cruise past dramatic headlands where southern right whales love to linger in the protected bays.
Bermagui – This picturesque fishing village provides access to the deep blue waters of the continental shelf, perfect for spotting blue whales and orcas.
Narooma – With Montague Island as your backdrop, witness whales navigating around this important seabird sanctuary and marine reserve.

From May through November, witness the incredible annual migration of humpback whales as they travel between Antarctic feeding grounds and tropical breeding areas.

But humpbacks are just the beginning. Our waters teem with southern right whales, the occasional blue whale, pods of orcas, and playful dolphins. Curious seals bask on rocky outcrops while rare whale species call our coast home year-round.
