The first whales of the season have been spotted, so Lady Musgrave Experience is offering the very first Whale Search Expedition on Sunday, June 16 from 9:00am - 2:00pm.

Bundaberg Whale Watching are excited to announce the first whales have been sighted off the South Eastern Coastline with the whales expected to be in Bundaberg shortly. What better way to welcome them to our region than a traditional owners smoking ceremony and a exploration journey before the official whale season kicks off in July! With the official opening of the whale watching season being July 7th 2024 we want to welcome these early whales into the region with a whale seeking exploration along the Humpback Highway off the Bundaberg Coastline. Whilst this journey does not form part of the official whale watching season we hope to find some of these early pods in a fun family friendly day on the water filled with facts about our migrating Humpback Whales.

Ideal for children and families, this half-day coastline expedition is up to 50% off standard season rates and will include:

4-hour cruise on board the Main Event
Welcome Smoking Ceremony from the people of Taribelang Bunda Cultural Tours
Lunch (on board)
Raffle
