Whale Watching around Keswick Island

Humpback Whales can be frequently seen around Keswick Island during their annual migration through the Whitsundays between the months of July to September. Seeing the whales frolicking nearby as you pass through Egremont Passage is a truly magical experience. There are many spots on Keswick from which you can watch the whales - be it from Basil Bay beach, any of the prominent headlands or even while on a Wildcat Mackay adventure tour. If you are watching whales from your boat, be sure to comply with the Australian National Guidelines for Whale and Dolphin Watching.
