Whale Watching in Byron Bay!!

Yesterday, Sunday the 20th of June, I woke up and after I had my rugby game on Saturday it is always good to have a short run up to the Byron Bay lighthouse to recover a bit and to enjoy the ocean view. I started running from the Arts Factory Backpackers Lodge with my mate around 11.00Am and we arrived on the top around 11.30. Lots of people were whale watching and they told us that one passed by the lighthouse a couple of minutes ago. We waited for I think three more minutes till we saw two whales really close to the rocks down the light house.
These were my first whales I have ever seen in wild. Two beautiful massive whales swimming right under the light house. They swim really slow so we had time enough to see them really good. After a couple of meters one of them started to slap his tail on the water. And this all for free and one of my best experiences i’ve had in Australia. I will book a whale watch tour soon at the MAD travel desk in the Arts Factory Backpackers Lodge to see these great animals as close as possible.
