Hi, Unfortunately the Whale Watching season ends at the end of October, although we offer a 2.5-3hr Ocean Adventure cruise from mid November through to June which follows the coastline from Ballina up to Cape Byron, stopping at all the sights such as Lennox Head, Broken Head and viewing Cape Byron Lighthouse from the water. This is also a great opportunity to see marine life such as dolphins, turtles and plenty of birdlife. Our Marine Biologist gives an interpretive talk of the area and wildlife experienced. This cruise is $95 for Adults and $75 for Children 5-11years. Alternatively, we will also be operating a 2hr Scenic River on sunset during this time of year. I hope this information has helped and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards, Sally - Out Of The Blue Adventures

Our Whale Watching season starts from the end of May right through to the end of October. No month is particularly better than another but we do have the chance to witness different activity. From May to August marks the humpback north migration, during this time we witness very active and energetic whales, including breaching, competition groups, males eager to get the attention of the females, and chin slapping. In August we see a lot of inquisitive, interactive whales, mugging and close encounters, along with a first look at the seasons newest little whales. Then from the end of August through to October is the south migration. This is when we get the chance to see more mothers coming back inshore with their newly born calves and more male competition groups. Of course, the above activity can also be witnessed throughout the season. Therefore, this is a general guideline to whale season.

The full season is from June to November. For the first few months whales are heading north to the calving grounds off the Queensland coast. Towards the end of the season they are heading south to return to their home territories around the antarctic, during which you may get to see an unexpected event of killer whales (orcas) attacking and devouring a whale calf.

Hi Martin. We did the Whale watching cruise, it was fantastic, & certainly great value for money. We also did the Mothers Day cruise up the Richmond river. Can't recommend these guys enough.
