Experience Whale Season 2026 on the Gold Coast with Kokomo Cruises.
Each year, the east coast of Australia becomes the stage for one of the world’s most remarkable marine migrations.
From late May through November 2026, thousands of humpback whales will travel along the Gold Coast as they migrate between Antarctic feeding grounds and northern breeding waters.
The Gold Coast sits directly along this migration corridor, often referred to as the Whale Highway, making it one of the most reliable whale watching regions in Australia.
Why the Gold Coast Is One of the Best Places for Whale Watching
Exploring the Gold Coast Broadwater by private charter is more than just getting on a boat. It’s about creating a special moment, slowing down, and enjoying the surroundings with the people you choose to share it with.
The Gold Coast offers a rare advantage: whales pass extremely close to shore.
During Whale Season 2026, sightings frequently occur:
- Just offshore from Main Beach and Surfers Paradise
- Around coastal headlands such as Burleigh Heads and Coolangatta
- Within short cruising distance from Marina Mirage
Because the migration route runs close to land, whale watching here offers high sighting probability without long travel times offshore.
