Whale Watching on Keswick Island
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.
