Whale Talks and Cruises
This is the time and place to see whales - and we don't charge a cent for the experience.
The annual migration of the humpback whales from Antarctica to Hervey Bay in Queensland reaches its peak around the time of the 5 Lands Walk, and they swim right past us. So there's a very good chance you'll see whales.
You can even hear them breathe. Yes, they are that big and that close!
The best place on the day is at Captain Cook Lookout, up the hill from Copacabana where the whales usually pass very close to the foot of this headland.
