Prepare for an experience like no other as you witness the majestic beauty of the humpback whale in Noosa’s aquatic playground during their annual migration.
Beginning with a relaxing cruise down the Noosa River, you’ll soak up the sights and views over Noosa from the water before Captain Christian cruises out off Noosa heads in search of the friendly giants.
Your nature focused cruise will take you to locations that cannot be fully appreciated from the land, including amazing natural cliff formations, emerald forests, hidden coves and sweeping beaches.
On finding the whales, you’ll enjoy an awe inspiring experience that is difficult to put into words - Breaches, tail lobs & pectoral slaps are all part of the spectacular display, and if you come in the later half of the season you may even see a mama with her calf!

The captain was experienced and made sure we had a good time. He took us to the right places where whales were there. Along the way we also saw some dolphins.
