Venue: Great Barrier Reef, Appearing: June to October
After touring all the way from Antarctica, with so much happening at each stage of the tour, the Humpbacks finally pause to rest in the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.
Here the pristine waters of the Coral Sea temporarily become a maternity ward, as touring mothers give birth to the next generation of the band, weighing in at around 2 tonnes each!
Venue: Hervey Bay - The Main Event, Appearing: July to November
Hervey Bay is where the Humpbacks come to have fun, which makes it the best place in the world to watch them. Its calm, sheltered waters are also where the touring mothers bring their newborn calves to explore.
After the demands of the tour so far, the Humpbacks are ready to rock! And like the natural born stars they are, you can expect some playful antics, like leaping up and thumping their huge fins and tail flukes up to 30 times in 5 minutes!!
With kilometres of idyllic beaches, Hervey Bay surrounds you with World Heritage listed parks and islands.
Venue: Sunshine Coast, Appearing: June to early November
Many Humpbacks travel within just a few kilometres of the coastline, so you can watch them on their migratory path from headlands along the coast. The friendly locals and wide sunny beaches of the Sunshine Coast make ideal conditions to observe the Humpbacks bursting out of the water and rolling into backward somersaults!
Venue: Moreton Bay, Appearing: June to November
Just 25km from the CBD of Brisbane is beautiful, eco-rich Moreton Bay. With its abundant marine life you could see the Humpbacks with a support act of dugongs, green turtles, loggerhead turtles or dolphins!
Afterwards, there are plenty of other adventurous activities to get up to in the Bay.
Venue: The Gold Coast, Appearing: Mid-June to November
Crossing the border to their Queensland leg of the tour, Harvey and the Humpbacks gracefully amble up the Coast, basking in sunshine. They're still going strong on the krill they ingested before leaving Antarctica two months before. After the natural thrills of a day with the Humpbacks, join in the fun on the Gold Coast's vibrant beaches, and step out to one of its many great restaurants.
