2-Hour Sunshine Coast Whale Watching Experience

This intimate whale watching cruise from Mooloolaba takes you into prime humpback whale territory aboard a purpose-built vessel designed for small groups of just 20 passengers. You'll spend two hours searching for migrating humpback whales with the added advantage of HD underwater cameras and hydrophone technology that lets you see and hear these magnificent creatures both above and below the surface.

Your expert skipper navigates through known whale habitats where you're likely to witness spectacular behaviours including breaching, tail slapping, spy hopping and peduncle throwing. The boat's advanced underwater camera system provides real-time footage of whales gliding beneath the waves, whilst the onboard hydrophone captures their haunting songs and communication clicks. The small group size ensures everyone gets unobstructed views without the crowds typical of larger tour boats.
