What you can expect

Departing from Sea World on the Gold Coast, this is one of Australia’s premier whale watching experiences. Join marine experts for a close encounter with majestic Humpback Whales aboard one of Australia’s newest and luxurious whale watching vessels. Within minutes of the Gold Coast, cruise to the ‘Humpback Highway’ and spy on the world’s largest animals from 3 spacious viewing platforms with a spectacular backdrop of the Surfers Paradise skyline. During the cruise learn more about these fascinating marine creatures and listen to unique whale songs live with an underwater microphone on board.

The Gold Coast whale watching season runs from the end of May to early November. Our whale watching cruises will depart daily from the Sea World Cruises Main Beach Terminal at 9 AM, 12 PM, and 3 PM. Additional departures with the boat "Kaiala" at 8 AM, 11 AM, and 2 PM during peak time. In the unlikely event, your tour fails to see a whale you will receive a free return cruise voucher.
