Family Friendly Activities to Try in Australia
If you are planning on visiting Australia with your family, chances are, you are looking for fun family activities to do while you are there. While there are many options, one of the favourites for those who visit is whale watching. Humpback whales can often be sighted feeding in the waters off the Sapphire Coast and offer an astonishing view to those who get to witness these beautiful creatures in person. If you are looking for the perfect activity for you and your family, consider booking a whale watching cruise.
A Once in a Lifetime Experience
Whale watching isn’t something most people get to do on an everyday basis. So, if you ever get the opportunity to do it, it’s one you should take up. If you are planning a holiday to Australia, consider visiting Narooma. Whale watching in Narooma is quite popular, specifically during May through July and August and September when whales can be sighted on their northern migration and feeding in the waters.
During these months, often you do not need to travel far to find large pods lateral and lunge feeding. Most recently, whales were also observed “bubblenet” feeding. Being in the midst of a pod of feeding whales is a phenomenon few get to experience and one that you and your family will remember for life.
Booking a Whale Watching Cruise
If you are interested in getting to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, the best way to do so would be to book a whale watching cruise. There are several options throughout the year as these tours typically operate on a daily basis.
Aside from getting to see whales, you may also get to witness other animals during the tour. Many other sea creatures are seen on these cruises, including Minke, Bryde’s and Blue Whales, Common and Bottlenose Dolphins, Orca, Australian Fur Seals, penguins, flying fish, sunfish, turtles, and many species of seabirds.
These cruises are around two hours long and come complete with a morning cup of tea for all guests. You can also book a cruise in the morning or in the afternoon, although mornings on the ocean are always the calmest, so mornings are recommended for families and first-time sailors. However, whale activity is typically most common during the afternoon. Regardless of when you go, you are guaranteed to see a whale!
