Humpback whales travel along the marine park coastline during their annual migration north. Many significant Indigenous cultural and spiritual sites are located within or adjacent to the marine park. Visitors and residents can enjoy eco-tourism activities including fishing, boating, dolphin and whale watching as well as swimming, diving, snorkelling, kayaking and other water sports.
