Wildlife

Ballina Ocean Tours take you on a journey with the giants of the deep blue, that you won't forget. On their annual migration of the east coast the whales tend to hug the coast quite strongly between Byron Bay and Ballina, sometimes stopping to play in the Bay with their calves on the return journey.

Ballina Ocean Tours run Whale Watching Tours every day from June to November, for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 4 or 5 hours on their comfortable boat.

Byron Bay Wildlife Tours allows visitors the opportunity to view Australia’s unique mammals, birds and reptiles in their natural environment.

A typical tour will include a visit to the South Coast University in Lismore, arriving at feeding time in the Koala Care Centre. The variety of wildlife seen on the tour will vary depending on the seasons, but it is not unusual to see Pademelons, Potoroos, wallabies, flying fox, kangaroos and water dragons.

Birdlife is also very abundant in the area including cockatoos, rosellas, wrens, kookaburras, water birds and eagles. While you travel enjoy the stunning coastline views, luxurious rainforest, open woodlands and coastal heath. A panoramic view of Byron Bay from a lookout at sunset completes the tour.
