The whale watching tour season starts in early June and runs to the end of October. The best way to see the humpbacks is from a boat - you are more likely to see one and also get a closer view.

Sometimes there are excellent viewing opportunities from land in unexpected places! For instance a high rise in Broadbeach gave an excellent viewing platform for whales frolicking between the beach and sandbar!

Another good spot is the headland at Point Danger, you can see it in the photo above. Don't forget to pack your binoculars. And, if you are lucky you might even catch a glimpse of our famous Migaloo, a unique white humpback whale.

June isn't all about whales and you might notice that the season has ticked over to winter! Don't let that put you off.

Winter in the Gold Coast is truly AWESOME!

A great time to escape from the cooler weather in the southern states! Early in the month without kids, later in the month to co-incide with school holidays.

If you like swimming highly recommend accommodation with a heated swimming pool – it‘s easy to get caught out on this one!

Any winter month in the Gold Coast is awesome – June is no exception. Days are warm with clear blue skies and nights are just a little crisp.
