Chase the horizon and dive into the heart of humpback whale season with a high-impact cruise to Great Keppel Island. Departing from Keppel Bay Marina, this three-hour voyage cuts through pristine migration waters where the ocean erupts with action. From August to September, with 11am departures every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, you’ll be perfectly timed to witness explosive breaches, thunderous tail slaps and close encounters with mothers and calves on the move.

Refuel with a light lunch onboard as the spectacle unfolds around you. Feel the rush as expert crew track and interpret whale behaviour, turning every sighting into a front-row wildlife moment. More than a cruise, this experience is an immersive encounter designed for those who want something unforgettable. With sweeping views of the Keppel Islands and the rugged beauty of the Capricorn Coast, every minute delivers energy, movement and the kind of raw nature experience you'll relive for years to come.
