“Absolutely loved the experience. The Captain and crew were fantastic, very organised and incredibly knowledgeable about the whales. We were lucky enough to see four whales and a calf. Highly recommended.”

About
As winter slowly sets in Antarctica, Gold Coast gears up for the annual migration of the majestic Humpback Whales. Over 30,000 whales make their way along the Humpback Highway, making it the best time to go whale watching. From May-October, the ‘Spirit of Gold Coast’ runs regular whale watching expeditions from the Gold Coast Main Beach – join them for an experience of a lifetime!
Within minutes of departure, you can expect to see the majestic Humpbacks from the decks of this purpose-built vessel. With the city skyline in the background, you get to experience the whales breach, wave their fins, slap their tails, and blast water and air through their blowholes, right before your eyes!
Your crew is passionate about the whales and their conservation – the experience is led by an expert marine biologist who will share fun facts about the whales. You will go home with profound knowledge about mating, migration, baleen, blowholes, flukes, and more!
Running exclusively from May-October, the cruise offers a guaranteed sighting policy – enjoy a free return trip if no whales are sighted!
There you have it – a fun and educational whale watching experience. So the next time you’re in the Gold Coast, don’t forget to try this cruise out! Book early!
