Port Stephens Whale Watching is something people travel from all around to experience between the months of July and October every year. As these majestic mammals make their migratory path along the east coast of Australia, they stop in the warm waters just off Port Stephens to frolic and play.
Port Stephens is not only known as the ‘Dolphin Capital of Australia’, but also a place where you can experience the sheer wonder and power of the Humpback whales at play. Many charter boats run daily cruises out to the waters where they frolic and jump around, and you can decide between a half-day or a full-day tour, depending on how much time you have to spare.
