Get Ready for the Whales! These are great Sunshine Coast holiday specials!

Now is the time to book your Sunshine Coast accommodation as whale season is on its way! As more than 9000 whales are expected to make their way up the Queensland coast soon, tour operators and accommodation owners are gearing themselves up for the thousands of whale watchers expected to visit the region in the coming months for their Sunshine Coast holidays. You have wisely picked among the best Sunshine Coast holiday packages. 

Whale watching season generally runs from mid-June to early November but whales have already been spotted off the North New South Wales coast, indicating that whale season is starting a little early this year.

The season marks the annual migration of the humpback whales from Antarctica to the warmer waters of Queensland. Humpback whales are the fifth largest whale species and can measure up to 19 metres, weighing around 40 tonnes.

Sunshine Coast whale tours are available from Mooloolaba to catch whale sightings in Moreton Bay. Tour operators take great care to educate visitors about this vulnerable and protected species. With a bit of luck, Whale watchers can expect to see males leaping out of the water (also known as breaching) and mothers with their newly born calves.

It may be winter in Australia but every day's a sunny one in beautiful Queensland so take advantage of some great Sunshine Coast accommodation deals and Sunshine Coast holiday packages!
