Whale Watching Fraser Island

The brute power and size of these mammals of the ocean are overwhelming. Yet they remain vulnerable to the impact of humanity. It is hard not to be completely mesmerised by their appearance, always leaving the onlooker with a sense of longing to see more.

• Always make sure to book your stay during the right time of the year. Humpback whales are migrating past our coastline from July to October, also referred to as whale watching season. During this time, you’ll be able to notice them lingering in the water just behind the breakers.
• When you book through one of the local whale-watching cruises, remember to pack sunscreen. A day out in the sun can be harsh on your skin, and you still want to have loads of fun exploring the outdoors of our island.
• Even if you’re not usually suffering from motions sickness, it is best to pack some meds anyway. You don’t want to spoil your cruise by feeling queasy while hanging over the side of the boat.

Always behave respectful towards nature. We are mere observers of the whales in their habitat and should respect it as such.

Whale watching is only one of many activities we have on our island.

• Our camping site offers you a convenient stay only a short walk away from the best fishing spots where you can dip your lines with tremendous success. Whales aren’t the only sea life our shores are blessed with as it is alive with many different kinds of fish living in the surrounding surf gutters.
• Our camping site is entirely fenced-in to keep dingoes out, offering you the safety to wander off to do some bird watching.
• The landscape and seascape of the island is simply breath-taking and make for some of the best wildlife and nature photography.

Our campsite offers all the conveniences to make it feel like home. We have power, hot showers and flushing toilets, a laundry and a café — everything you might need to have an enjoyable stay in an island paradise.
