June signals the beginning of the annual whale migration, as humpback and southern right whales make their way from the food-rich southern ocean to breeding grounds in the warm northern waters.
The whales then return south in November to the colder seas to grow and mature.
The whales follow the continental shelf hugging the coast as they travel through the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, playfully breaching and showing off their water skills and celebrating life just off shore.
There are many whale watching cruises available as well as plenty of land based lookouts with excellent vantage points.
The whales migrate close to the coast where there are many viewing points such as Albany, Exmouth, Shark Bay, Cape Leuwin and many more.
Please contact your local visitor centre for more information.
