39 Whales in Paradise40 Spirit of Gold Coast 41 Sea World Whale Watch

Between the months of June to November the typically calm waters of the Gold Coast begin to bristle with life as approximately 15,000 majestic Humpback whales arrive to mate and give birth in South-East Queenslands calm inshore waters.

The Gold Coast provides a fantastic opportunity for whale watch enthusiasts to get up close and personal with one of the largest living mammals on Earth. The Humpback whales playful and naturally curious nature ensures whale watchers are never disappointed, as these friendly giants are regularly seen breaching, tails slapping and spy hopping just metres from whale watch vessels.

Due to the accessibility, concentration of whales and possessing the longest whale watching season in the country, the Gold Coast has become Australias premier whale watching destination and arguably the new whale watch capital of the world.

Humpback whale sightings are guaranteed on each and every whale watch cruise and with the affectionately named Humpback highway just 10 minutes off Surfers Paradise you can enjoy a half day whale watch cruise and and leave your morning or afternoon free to indulge in other great Gold Coast activities.

of the buffets56 Hanlans at Hotel Grand Chancellor 57 Food Fantasy at Jupiters Hotel & Casino

While holidaying on the Gold Coast, make sure you dont miss out on indulging in some of the best buffets on offer.

Even if you are not staying at one of the hotels featured,you are most welcome to dine and experience some oftheir sumptuous selections.

Whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner, if you arehungry, a buffet is sure to satisfy any cravings. Buffetsare also great for picky eaters and those with allergies who might struggle to meet their requirements in a normal restaurant situation where meals are unable to be altered.

Many of the buffets offer a carvery section, seafood, pizzaand pasta station, salad bar and desserts a plenty (forthe sweet tooths who cant stop at one).

The seafood buffets are always a popular choice withlocals and visitors alike, as much of the high-quality and fresh seafood is locally sourced.

In addition to the growing number of buffets, check outour Dining & Entertainment section (pages 44-55) to viewthe eager restaurateurs who have been changing theGold Coast dining scene.
