WILSONS Promontory National Park, fondly known as The Prom, is a wild, remote gem tucked away in the southeast corner of Victoria. Its craggy headlands, hidden coves and granite cliffs mark the southernmost tip of mainland Australia, and its surrounding waters form the state’s largest marine national park.
Each spring, the Prom becomes a vital waypoint in the whale migration. Humpback whales return southward from their winter breeding grounds in Queensland, many spotted with calves in tow. This year is no different with a successful start to the southern migration season.
One of the best ways to experience this migration is on a Wilsons Prom Whale Cruise with Wildlife Coast Cruises. Departing from Port Welshpool at 10.30am, this six-hour adventure explores the spectacular east coast of the Prom, an untouched wilderness rich with marine biodiversity. Aboard there’s a 90 per cent chance of spotting whales on these springtime tours.
Keep watch with the expert crew as they scan the horizon for spouts, tail slaps, and the shimmer of whale footprints. Along the way, you’ll likely encounter playful dolphins, sunbathing fur seals and soaring seabirds.
It’s a chance to connect with nature, witness the whale migration, and experience the wild up close. Enjoy morning tea and lunch onboard, with expert crew sharing insights and tips along the way.
This is immersive, respectful wildlife tourism at its best, set in one of Victoria’s most awe-inspiring natural sanctuaries and runs from now until November 2.
