The Gold Coast has some of the bests hot spots for you to check out whale watching, you can view these great big giants as they migrate to their breeding grounds.
It is an incredible phenomen the way these giants of the ocean do this year after year. How the Humpback Whales navigate is still a mystery and the subject of much further research, (thanks to the many hours spent whale watching) but certainly they negotiate great distance annually and do it unerringly. One plausible explanation, as some scientists believe, is that geographic faults and undersea ranges on the ocean floor provide 'highways' that whales follow to their breeding grounds, Another more recent and equally credible theory is that whales naturally sense magnetic grids within the earth.
Whatever the reasons are you can experience this first hand off of the Gold Coast as the whales make a long coastal journey.
