Loved this trip, would totally recommend the raft boat as you feel up close and personal with the whales. Our skipper was great fun and knowledgeable.

What you can expect

Get up close with humpback whales while out on the water around the Sunshine Coast on this two hour whale watching cruise adventure. You'll head out for an exhilarating boat ride, and have the unique opportunity to see the whales playing underwater through the underwater camera, and hear them sing through the hydrophone.

Your whale watching cruise will take you on board with a small group and out onto the waterways around Mooloolaba. Enjoy the spectacular coastal views as your experienced skipper takes you through the Mooloolaba Marina towards the world-famous Mooloolaba beach, then offshore to where the whales frolic.

Look out for the majestic humpback whales on their migration as they play in the water near the boat, performing 'tricks' like breaches, loud tail slaps, spy hops and penduncle throws. You'll be able to see a livestream of all the underwater antics through the state-of-the-art underwater HD cameras, and hear the whales sing through the hydrophone. This is a completely immersive whale watching adventure to tick off your list.

The Best Whale Watching

I can’t recommend whale watching with Adventure Rafting highly enough!! The team are friendly, helpful and go above and beyond. You can tell they love their jobs and their guests. Our family has been whale watching before (in other places) Mooloolaba was our favourite, so convenient, so beautiful. We’ll always remember it. Thank you!!
