Whale Watching

Nature & Parks

Apollo Bay is known for its excellent whale watching opportunities!

There's nothing like the thrill of spotting these majestic creatures in the wild!

The peak season for Southern Right whale watching is during their migration between May and September each year. The whales can be up to an incredible 18 metres long and showcase v-shaped tail fins.

You can often spot them from our ocean view cabins and sites in our park.

Talk to our friendly team in reception about the best tour options to get a closer look at these amazing gentle giants.
