Gold Coast Whale Watching Adventure

Join us on this small group adventure and be witness to one of the most spectacular displays of nature on our planet: the yearly migration of humpback whales as they travel along the East Coast of Australia. Allow us to get you up close and personal to view these magnificent ocean wanderers, with a knowledgable skipper as your passionate guide on our custom-built vessel, and the Gold Coast city skyline as your picture-perfect backdrop.

Each year, between May and November, tens of thousands of humpback whales embark on their annual 5000km migration from their feeding grounds in the cold Southern Ocean around Antarctica, to give birth and mate in the warm, tropical waters off the coast of Queensland.

As they migrate North and South during the season, we are immensely fortunate that they pass right by our coastline, here on the Gold Coast — famed for its stunning skyline, beautiful beaches, spectacular surfing and great scuba diving.

We believe in an educational, personal and intimate experience when observing these gentle giants and their dolphin relatives. We’ll take you on a three-hour adventure away from the crowds on our 12-passenger, custom built vessel which features comfortable seating and an unparalleled 360-degree view of the ocean, so you can help us spot some of the humpbacks yourself and marvel in delight as they approach our smaller, quieter, low-to-the-water boat. 

This is a unique experience not to be missed. Prepare to be overwhalemed!
