Whale watching like you've never experienced before. Our team gives you the opportunity to witness the spectacular humpback whale migration off the scenic Sunshine Coast above and below the water!
Taking only 20 passengers, it gives everyone a front-row seat to witness breath-taking breaches, loud tail slaps, spy hops and penduncle throws while our state-of-the-art underwater HD cameras live stream all of the underwater action right to your seat! But wait, there's more! Our brand new hydrophone allows you to hear the whales sing as they play, making it a fully immersive experience unlike any other!
Our knowledgeable skipper will provide you with entertaining and informative commentary educating you about these majestic creatures whilst you watch them frolic and play! It doesn't get any better than this.

5.00The staff were amazing with their friendly explanations and smiles. It was great to see the communication between boats for the sighting of whales and we were so lucky to see a mum, calf and escort.
Fabulous tour with a great crew - highly recommended.

5.00Fantastic small group tour. Our crew Rod & Jake were fabulous, informative & professional. We learnt so much about humpback whales in such a short time. The boat was very comfortable, zippy & viewing was great as group was small. We saw/followed 3 pods during the two hours watching mum, baby & their escort which was fascinating. We were lucky enough to see a breach with our last pod which was incredible. Our first whale watching tour & we were not disappointed. The two hours flew by but was also perfect timing if you don't want to be out for half a day. Highly recommended with a great ethical crew. Thank you
Fabulous trip with expert Skippers

5.00Our two skippers Rod & Hayden were 100% in every way. They did their utmost to make our trip informative, fun and most of all to find some whales for us to marvel at. The boat seats about 20 people and there was a lot of room to stand up and move around while the boat was idling, allowing us to watch the whales migrating south to Antarctica. We learned a lot from both Rod and Hayden about whale behaviour, habits and conservation. They handled the boat beautifully, finding the best places to idle to give the best views, followed by a bit of an adrenaline ride back into harbour. I can highly recommend this trip from start to finish. (possibly not for people who know they will or might get seasick as the boat is very close to the water) .
Amazing experience!...

5.00An absolutely wonderful experience, with some awesome sightings of frolicking whales. I wasn't quite expecting such a fast boat and for how wet we all got, but it was the most incredible fun. Friendly and knowledgeable crew to top it off.
Incredible day

5.00We had a fabulous, fun and informative experience. We were lucky enough to see a “heat-run” where a number of bulls cute for a female in order to mate. They were chasing each other and knocking each other around. Our boat managed to get up quite close. Great fun commentary from the skipper.

5.00We had an incredible experience. Our skipper Jack and his assistant James were knowledgeable, easy going and fun. We spent approximately an hour with a very playful calf and it's mother - we saw lots of breaching and pectoral slapping. The boat was small so we weren't crowded and all had great views. I would definitely recommend this experience.
