Experience Whale Watching Like Never Before

Step aboard a specialised vessel for an immersive journey into the world of humpback whales on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. This 2-hour whale watching experience offers the best of both above and below the surface adventures, designed for those seeking a closer look at some of the ocean’s most awe-inspiring creatures.

A Comfortable and Intimate Cruise

With small group sizes capped at just 20 participants, your time at sea is both personal and engaging. Board a fast and modern boat that’s purpose-built for comfort, ensuring smooth navigation through known whale habitats without the crowds. The limited group size allows everyone unobstructed views and easy access to the action.

See and Hear Humpback Whales Up Close

Your cruise sets out from Mooloolaba, renowned for exceptional whale spotting opportunities during the migration season. As your expert skipper guides the craft through prime viewing areas, keep your eyes peeled for thrilling spectacles—whales breaching, slapping their tails, spy hopping and peduncle throwing. Thanks to the boat’s HD underwater cameras, you’ll witness the whales gliding beneath the waves in real time, gaining an entirely new appreciation for their grace and scale.

Add another dimension to the adventure by listening in with the onboard hydrophone. This instrument lets you hear the haunting melodies and playful clicks of whales echoing through the water—a rare and moving experience that few get to enjoy.

Safety, Expert Guidance and Onboard Comfort

Safety and comfort are top priorities during your excursion. You’ll receive a spray jacket and spray glasses to keep you dry and shielded from ocean spray, ensuring that nothing distracts from your once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Throughout the cruise, your crew shares informative commentary about the whales’ behaviours, biology and conservation efforts, deepening your understanding of these gentle giants.

Unforgettable Moments in Nature

Every whale watching journey is unique. Some days you’ll observe powerful breaches just meters from the boat, while on others you might catch groups of whales socialising beneath the waves or even hear them communicating. Your skipper adapts each trip based on recent sightings and conditions, giving you the best possible chance of witnessing memorable natural moments.
