Whale Watch

A free community program for people who watch whales.

How can people’s whale watching experience be better than it already is?

WhaleWatch is a community program run by Mobiddiction, a 100% Australian-owned technology company founded in 2012. We also run public safety and fisheries programs for NSW Government, including SharkSmart and FishSmart.

WhaleWatch lets people share whale sightings and photos for others to see and use when planning a trip. It is an independent program, supported by whale enthusiasts, photographers, videographers and tour operators who encourage people to share their sightings. It began as Wild About Whales, an app we built for the National Parks and Wildlife Service of NSW, which was retired in 2021.

We extend our gratitude to our engineering team whose efforts brought this vision to life. We encourage you to continue sharing your whale sightings, allowing us to collectively marvel at these majestic ocean giants.

Please download the “WhaleWatch” app, share your sightings, photos when you are out to “WhaleWatch” as these majestic giants of the ocean swim by the waters.

Always follow the instructions, safety guidelines from tour operators and professionals, volunteers and conservation groups who put in a lot of work to keep these lovely animals safe and protected.
