The activities on the Gold Coast bring smiles to people of all ages and stages. With exhilarating rides, exotic animals and endless waterslides to help you cool off on hot summer days, your Gold Coast holiday offers a full spectrum of interactive entertainment – from dazzling big budget Gold Coast theme parks to small, hilariously kitsch museums.

Discover something new from pure, adrenalin-packed fun to natural indulgence, the contrasts of the Gold Coast unite to deliver every holiday experience you could desire.

We all love theme parks and sunny beaches, but many people forget about all of the other activities that makes the Gold Coast such a well-rounded and varied holiday destination.

Today, underrated Gold Coast attractions such as winery tours, walking trails, island adventures and mountain drives are just as popular as the theme parks and beaches.

u p a s tra el to t e war er waters in t e a ifi to breed and give birth.

Humpback whales migrate up to 10,000km, one of the longest migratory journeys of any mammal.

Whales can often be seen teaching their newborn babies the art of breeching (jumping from the water).

One theory says whales breech to communicate long distances, others say it is to ward off prey and some say it’s simply a playful gesture between friends.

We’ll let you decide!

whale watching

Gold Coast Whale Watching Guide Whale watching is an iconic experience on the Gold Coast and you should absolutely hop aboard a tour and head out to see these incredible creatures up close in their natural environment.

To see them frolicking, breaching and blowing is an exhilarating experience that will stay with you long after you set foot on land again. An estimated 35,000 whales embark on their migration through the Gold Coast each year. That’s a lot of whales, which is a wonderful thing.

These incredible creatures have made their way back from the brink of extinction to become a global conservation success story – so much so that they are no longer considered a threatened species.

With population numbers increasing each year, there’s a lot of a uati traffi alon t e u p a i way w i a es for marvellous whale watching.

NATURAL WONDER

It’s hard to comprehend the size of these massive mammals until you see them up close. Some of the largest humpbacks reach sizes of up to 16m long and weigh over 30 tonnes (that’s the same as 11 elephants!). They can live up to 90 years old, which means some of the whales you see have been making this journey every year for decades.

A newborn calf is only about 4m long and on their migration south, mother humpbacks use the protected Gold Coast waters as a nursery to rest and play in. The calves are still learnin to swi and rea and wat in t e flop a out as they practice is sure to bring smiles.

42

An up close encounter with these sentient aquatic mammals on a whale watching tour is awe-inspiring, humbling and deeply moving – an experience you’ll never forget.

Written by Kate Veling

FAST COMMUTE

The Gold Coast is in such close proximity to the Humpback Highway that there’s very little travel time involved. Tours depart from numerous locations and you can be watching whales play within 20-30 minutes. This is great news for parents with little people impatient to see all the action. It also means you can go for an early morning whale watching tour and be back on land before lunch with the rest of your day to spend at your leisure, relaxing, shopping or exploring Gold Coast’s other attractions.

EXTENDED SEASON

The Gold Coast has the longest continuous whale watching season in ustralia stret in o er fi e w ole ont s and two school holidays from roughly late May to October. This means there’s ample opportunity to take a whale watching tour. The humpbacks’ migration is one of the longest journeys of any animal on the planet. They embark on a 5000km journey, leaving the icy waters of the Antarctic to head north up the east coast of Australia to the warmer waters of Queensland to mate and birth their young before making the return trip.

At different times during the season, you’ll see different behaviours from the whales. Early in June, it’s mainly females with their calves from the previous year – these youngsters are exuberant and playful and love to show off with impressive surface displays. July and August is when large pods pass through and the sight of their spray and splashing out to sea are a common sight from Gold Coast beaches. Pregnant females slowly swim north and many adult males are around at this time, competing for attention from the lady whales (cue acrobatics!). September is when they start heading south again and towards the end of the season over October, there are lots of mothers with newborns – a truly magical sight to see.
