Description
Set sail on a whale-watching cruise from the Gold Coast. Spot humpback whales, dolphins, and turtles, enjoy morning tea and lunch, and learn about marine life from the crew.
Set sail from the Gold Coast Broadwater on a purpose-built sailing catamaran. Keep an eye out for humpback whales and other fascinating marine life. Enjoy spectacular displays of breaching, head lunging, tail slapping, and playful antics from these gentle giants.
As the only sailing catamaran offering whale watching on the Gold Coast, enjoy an intimate experience with a low capacity of just 28 passengers. This ensures a personalized and memorable outing.
Spot a variety of dolphin species, including Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, Australian humpback dolphins, and more. Look out for impressive shark species such as tiger sharks, bull sharks, hammerhead sharks, and even great white sharks, which often follow the humpback whale migration.
Observe loggerhead and green sea turtles as they travel along Queensland’s coastline. These turtles use the East Australian Current (EAC) for migration, reminiscent of Dory’s journey in Finding Nemo.
Enjoy a selection of biscuits, lamingtons, and muffins, served with tea and coffee to start your journey right. Then, enjoy a variety of baguettes and wraps for lunch. Drinks are available for purchase from the fully licensed bar.
If you don’t spot a whale during your cruise, receive a return ticket for a free trip to try again.
