From May to July, magnificent humpback whales pass Cape Byron on their journey to breeding grounds further north. From September to November, they come past Byron Bay again when they migrate south to the Antarctic with their young calves. Spot them swimming and playing from a coastal lookout or join a whale-watching cruise.
