Start of the whale season

As humpback whales progress on their annual migration north, we delve into the whale season at Phillip Island.

This week marks the start of Wildlife Coast Cruises' winter whale boat tours.

These majestic mammals have already been spotted multiple times off the boats leading up to the season, with sightings near Seal Rocks, Cape Woolamai and Ventnor, and many more to come over the next few months.

Whale cruises are running from June 4 to August 4 at Phillip Island. Make sure you book in advance if you want to secure your place on one of these popular boat tours. You can also keep up to date with whale sightings around the island by downloading the free Wildlife Whales app.
