The Annual Humpback Whale Migration is Here!

As we embrace the arrival of over 45,000 Humpback Whales in Flinders Bay during their northern migration from late May to August, Augusta shines as a picturesque coastal town in Australia’s South West region. Cape Leeuwin serves as a pivotal point for these magnificent creatures, being the most southwesterly point of Australia.

Ideal Whale Watching Grounds
The sighting grounds within Flinders Bay allow the whales to travel close to the coastline, creating a perfect environment for whale watching in sheltered and protected waters. Additionally, Flinders Bay acts as a nursery for the endangered Southern Right Whale, where mothers seek safety along the coast to raise their young calves each year.

A Rich Marine Ecosystem
In the bay, you can often spot Bottlenose Dolphins and Common Dolphins feeding, accompanied by regular sightings of Albatross, Shearwaters and Gannets as they partake in their feeding adventures.
