Strap in and hold on, this isn’t your average whale-watching cruise. This is two hours of raw ocean power aboard a rigid inflatable boat (RIB), built for speed and made for adventure. Departing from Ballina, you’ll tear across the pristine waters of Cape Byron Marine Park with the salty wind on your face and whales in your sights. These humpbacks don’t do sideshows, they put on the real deal. Breaching, tail-slapping, full-body acrobatics, mother nature doesn’t get bolder than this.

With a marine biologist who doesn’t just know their stuff, you’re not just watching whales, you’re understanding them. They'll give you the lowdown on whale behaviour, local marine life and the epic annual migration. You’ll even hear the whales singing through the hydrophone. Yep, actual whale songs in real time. From the surface breaches to the haunting underwater whale song, streamed live through the hydrophone. We’ll kit you out with a quality jacket, so don’t stress if the ocean gets a bit feisty. If you're keen to get up close, learn something real and feel the power of the open sea, this fast boat tour is the move.
