Whales of the Whitsundays Sponsorship

Whales of the Whitsundays is an exciting project that has put the Whitsundays on the map as an accredited Whale Heritage Area – the first within the Great Barrier Reef and in a World Heritage Area!

We are deeply committed to safeguarding the area where we operate and to fostering collaboration with local conservation initiatives, whilst ensuring your Whitsunday sailing adventure has minimal impact. Through this sponsorship, we commit to supporting the project, which engages our community in a series of educational events. Plus they led the charge in naming the Whitsundays as a Whale Heritage Site!

Official statement from the Whales of the Whitsundays Group:

“The shallow protected waters of the Whitsunday Islands are a unique haven where majestic marine giants choose to bring new life into the world. These shallow waters create the perfect nursery to cradle the precious moments of birth for the humpback whales, traveling thousands of kilometres to the heart of the Great Barrier Reef for this captivating natural spectacle to unfold. 

The Whitsundays is the World’s first Whale Heritage Site within a World Heritage Area. Our commitment to preserving and respecting this critical birthing habitat is unwavering, ensuring that generations to come can marvel at the beauty and grace of humpback whales in their most vulnerable and intimate moments. 

Our sponsors make these awe-inspiring moments possible, fostering a deep connection between nature, those who seek unforgettable marine experiences and the historical deep First Nations cultural connections of the land and sea country of the oldest culture on Earth. 

As one of our sponsors Whitsunday Escape joins this extraordinary journey, through their dedication we are committing to help preserve and celebrate the wonders of our Whitsundays’ Whales.”
