What you can expect

Get out on the water and see the most majestic creatures in the sea on this whale watching cruise from Main Beach on the Gold Coast. For about 2.5 hours you'll be cruising around the waterways looking out for the mighty humpback whales on their migration path. After about 20 minutes of cruising out to the deeper waters, you'll be helping the crew out by scanning the horizon for the humpback whales 'blow'. Enjoy the excitement of seeing whales splash around and flick their tales and hopefully even breach just near your boat on this whale watching adventure. While humpback whales are the stars of the show, tours often encounter Bottlenose Dolphins, Common Dolphins, sharks, turtles and albatross. If you don't see whales on your cruise, receive a free cruises to head out and see them again.
