GREY nomads are not the only ones heading up the coast each winter in search of warmer weather.
Every year humpback whales make the journey from their summer home in the Antarctic to the sub-tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef.
But for a really memorable experience, it is hard to beat going to sea on a whale watching boat like Whale One from Mooloolaba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
For a truly inspiring experience, call 1300 whale 1 (1300 942 531) to book. Cruises run between June and November and offer a 100 per cent money back guarantee. There is even a door-to-door transfer available for our Noosa and surrounding guests.
Whale One is a big comfortable 20m catamaran powered by twin diesel engines for a cruising speed of over 18kts. This section of coast, an hour’s drive north of Brisbane, has the happy coincidence of warm winter weather and a seemingly endless line of whales heading north from the frozen Antarctic to the warm waters around the Whitsunday Islands and beyond and then returning as summer comes on.
