Sea World Launches 2011 Whale Watching Season.

The first of thousands of Humpback Whales will be travelling past the Gold Coast as Sea World Whale Watch officially launches its 2011 season on Monday 6 June.

The Gold Coast whale watching season runs from June to November during the annual Humpback Whale migration past the Gold Coast. The whales migrate along the east coast of Australia on their annual journey to the tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef to calf and mate. These magnificent mammals then begin the long journey home to feed on the krill rich Antarctic waters.

Sea World Director of Marine Sciences Trevor Long said that Sea World Whale Watch offers advanced educational facilities which enhance the amazing experience of getting up close to the whales.

“Whale watching is a truly wonderful experience and it’s something that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.”

“The Humpback Whale population that migrates along our east coast is growing by between 8 and 13 percent annually, and we are expecting to see up to 13,000 whales pass the Gold Coast in 2011”.

“Sea World Whale Watch also has an underwater microphone so you can listen in on the whale songs during a tour,” he said.

Sea World Whale Watch will again offer the ultimate whale watching experience on the Gold Coast. Sea World’s custom designed $3.4M catamaran will comfortably carry in excess of 100 passengers.

Sea World Whale Watch will run tours daily (weather permitting) throughout the season, departing at 10am and returning at approximately 12.30pm, with a second tour on the weekends.

Sea World Whale Watch tickets cost $99 for Adults and $77 for Children and Pensioners. Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase their Whale Watching ticket as part of a combo deal which will include entry into Sea World.

Sea World Whale Watch provide a full refund if your tour fails to sight a whale. To book your whale watching ticket, phone (07) 5591 6061 or for more information visit Sea World Whale Watch.
