Visit Coco Bay Resort during the months of June to November and you’re in for a whale of a time! For an unforgettable family experience while in Noosa, celebrate the majestic humpback whale migration. Board a local vessel to take a breathtaking whale watching tour on the crystal waters of Laguna Bay. We believe the excitement and anticipation of a splash or blow is something not to be missed!
Here are five reasons to love whale watching in Noosa.
1. Humpback whales
Each year, the magnificent humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to our subtropical waters of the east coast of Australia. Their migration path brings them past our pristine waters off Noosa.
These gentle giants bring Laguna Bay alive as locals and visitors alike celebrate and delight in their spectacular acrobatic displays or the appearance of a mother and newborn calf. Whale watching at sea is a unique experience. Onboard one of Noosa’s experienced operators, you will have a front row seat to all the excitement! Enjoy the exhilaration of a whale breaching, flapping their long flippers and flukes, frolicking and swimming in the sea.

Escape to another world on the warm waters of Laguna Bay. Our whale encounters are not to be missed! Noosa was named the 10th World Surfing Reserve in 2020, for its outstanding wave breaks and pure surrounding environment. Noosa is also designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve!
On Laguna Bay unwind, take a deep breath of fresh air, and enjoy breathtaking views as you look toward Noosa National Park headland. This coastline forms a natural protection for an array of marine wildlife, where you are likely to spot dolphins and sea turtles.
It truly is an intimate experience to view these majestic mammals and other ocean life in their natural surroundings.
