Catch a glimpse of Humpback Whales on Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive’s new Whale watching tours in Townsville.
COMING SOON!
During the cooler months (June-September), North Queensland’s Eastern coastline comes alive with the spectacular acrobatic display of humpbacks whales. After filling their tummies all summer in the Antarctic waters, these charismatic animals migrate north up the coast to the tropical waters of North Queensland to mate and give birth.
At an astounding maximum length of 16 metres, the humpback is not the largest whale found in Australian waters but definitely the most iconic! These playful creatures seem to enjoy putting on a show, with pectoral fin waves, tail slapping and even full breaching! WOW!
This humpback highway is the perfect opportunity to watch these majestic creatures pass by. Forget the squinting as you try to get a glimpse of these gentle giants from land. Head out with Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive for the best natural vantage points and have the ultimate whale watching experience!
