Whale Season · May – November

Watch From the Cliff, Not the Boat

North Gorge is the east coast's best land-based whale-watching spot. We watch quietly from the cliffs — gentler on the whales than any boat.

Point Lookout is the most easterly point of Queensland, and North Gorge is widely considered the best land-based whale-watching spot on the east coast. Each season, thousands of humpbacks migrate just offshore, and we watch quietly from the cliffs above: low-impact, non-invasive, and gentler on the whales than any boat could be.
