Wonderful Whales

Wonderful Whales on Show in Denmark, and the Great Southern.
Seeing whales up close is an experience many say they'll never forget. Denmark and the Great Southern is the prime place to see these amazing mammals. Hundreds of whales play, feed, breed and travel close to the coast during the months of June to October. Humpbacks and southern right whales are the most commonly sighted species, although enormous blue whales are also regularly spotted.

Seasonality
Southern right and humpback whales are more prevalent in this region and migrate in large numbers. Humpback sightings start from June to October. The southern right whales are most commonly sighted later in the season from August to October. Blue whales are occasionally sighted from May to June.
