Noosa Whale Watching Tour
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
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!

5.00Wonderful trip. Christian found the whales. The boat appears faster than the others operating in the area which meant that when Christian spotted a mother and calf far off in the distance he was able to speed us down there to watch them breaching. Beautiful. He is extremely knowledgable and respectful of the whales. We also saw dolphins and turtles. Would highly recommend.
Fun speedy rib and great whale tracking

5.00We saw a giant ray (wish we'd spent more time with it), and 3 different sets of whales, including one breaching! The boat itself is small and jumps over the waves, good fun, but maybe not suitable for someone with a bad back
