But in winter humpback whales migrate to the North to their breeding and calving grounds in tropical waters. During their migrations from the Antarctic to the tropical waters humpback whales pass Byron Bay. The first humpback whales in Byron Bay arrive around July.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Byron_Bay_the_perfect_place_for_whale_watching\"><\/span>Why is Byron Bay the perfect place for whale watching?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Byron Bay is a perfect place for whale watching as it is close to Cape Byron which is the most easterly point of Australia. As it is the most easterly point many humpback whales pass Australia close to the coast.<\/p>\n<p>I started my journey to Australia in a February in Brisbane. That is not in the whale season. However, as I was busy until the end of June with my study abroad semester, I travelled to Bryron Bay only at the beginning of July when the first humpback whales would arrive. Byron Bay was my first travel destination after my study abroad semester on a six-week journey through Australia. Brisbane is approximately one hour and a half away from Byron Bay by bus.<\/p>\n<p>I travelled alone.<\/p>\n<p>This way I could decide by myself where and how long I wanted to stay at one place. Especially for whale watching you need a lot of time and not everyone is interested to stay one week ever day on an observation point on Cape Byron to wait for humpback whales.<\/p>\n<p>It could be quite boring for someone who is not that interested in whale watching.<\/p>\n<p>However, for me it was not boring at all.<\/p>\n<p>I stayed in Byron Bay for one week and I walked up the hill to Cape Byron every day. That is to the place where the lighthouse Cape Byron Light is located.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6345 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-1.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"1001\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-1.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The observation point close to the Cape Byron Light was perfect to observe migrating humpback whales.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I was not the only one who knew that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6348 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whale watching in Byron Bay attracts many interested whale enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>When I was walking up the hill I usually took some time to enjoy nature and landscapes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6351 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-3.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"1007\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-3.jpg 1007w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1007px) 100vw, 1007px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6353 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-4.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6355 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-5.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"992\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-5.jpg 992w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-5-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But eventually I wanted to reach my destination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6357 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-6.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"954\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-6.jpg 954w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-6-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And this was the most easterly point in Australia&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6359 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-7_2.jpg\" alt=\"Byron Bay\" width=\"481\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-7_2.jpg 481w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/Byron-Bay-7_2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;
