Dolphin / Whale Watching Attractions In Victoria

  • 1. Dolphin & Whale Watching Victoria
    Whale watching is the practice of observing whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. Whale watching is mostly a recreational activity , but it can also serve scientific and/or educational purposes. A study prepared for International Fund for Animal Welfare in 2009 estimated that 13 million people went whale watching globally in 2008. Whale watching generates $2.1 billion per annum in tourism revenue worldwide, employing around 13,000 workers.
