Cronulla is a great spot for whale watching as it’s located in the Sutherland Shire region of Sydney, right on the coast. During the annual whale migration season from May to November, several tour operators run whale watching cruises from Cronulla. These are typically 2 hour cruises that take you out into the waters off Cronulla to look for humpback whales as they migrate up and down the east coast of Australia. The tours use specialised whale watching vessels that are designed to provide great views of the whales. The boats have expert guides/naturalists on board who can point out the whales and provide information about their behaviour and migration patterns.
