One of the most spectacular events on the Capricorn Coast has officially begun.
Each year, thousands of humpback whales make their way along Queensland's coastline, and Yeppoon is one of the best places to witness this incredible migration.
From June to October, the waters surrounding the Capricorn Coast come alive with whale sightings, offering unforgettable moments both from shore and out on the water. Keep an eye on the horizon and you may spot breaching whales, tail slaps, and playful calves travelling alongside their mothers.
At Oshen Yeppoon, you're perfectly positioned to experience it all. Wake up to ocean views, spend your days exploring the coastline, and take advantage of the many local whale watching tours operating throughout the season.
Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a longer coastal retreat, whale season adds an extra touch of magic to your stay.
