Whale Watching, South Australia

SA

Stand atop the steep cliffs around Victor Harbor’s Encounter Bay and watch the endangered southern right whales who come here to breed between May and October. Or take a cruise from Granite Island jetty to see them play with their calves further out in the waters of the Fleurieu Peninsula. From Ceduna, further along South Australia’s jagged coastline, you can watch the whales do slow-motion somersaults from the viewing platform or beach. They often come within hundreds of metres from the towering Bunda Cliffs. You’ll also spot Australian sea lions and great white sharks. For a closer peek, take a boat out into the protected waters of the Head of Bight whale sanctuary.
