From September through November each year, the coast off the Eurobodalla region becomes a scenic migration route for humpback and southern right whales. You can try your luck from lookout points such as Bar Rock, Dalmeny Headland and Kianga. Many whales swim close enough to shore during their southbound journey that you may hear their exhales. For a closer encounter, book a guided whale-watching cruise from Narooma. Experienced skippers know where whales are likely to be and follow responsible wildlife-watching practices.
