Migrating Humpback, Minke and Killer Whales can also be seen off the coast of Port Stephens. The best times of year for whale watching are from May to July when whales are migrating north and then again from September to November when they are heading south to Antarctica.
Why not visit Port Stephens to see these wonderful creatures? Accommodation may be harder to find during those months so it is advisable to book early.
