Australia · WHALE WATCHING IN SUNSHINE COAST
Good whale watching in Sunshine Coast fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join Brent and Min from Noosaville for a small-group whale-watching cruise along Noosa’s coast. The 12-seat boat gives everyone a clear view, while the skipper searches for humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, and seabirds. Expect a scenic, speedy ride, possible spray, and about 1.5 hours on the water after boarding and safety checks.
“Loved it Great boat Lots of whales close up Good, fun guide”
Set out from Sunreef Mooloolaba for a three-hour humpback whale cruise along Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. You’ll have indoor, outdoor, upper, and lower viewing areas, live English commentary, onboard bathrooms, and a whale guarantee: if none appear, you receive a free return trip. Dolphins, turtles, and seabirds may join the show.
“I was always on the wrong side to see the whales and would need a hand to cross sides 😆”
Cruise from Noosa Marina down the river and out past Noosa Heads with guides such as Mike, Michael, Christian, and Nathon. The two-hour trip uses a speedy boat to search for migrating humpback whales, with binoculars and rain jackets supplied. Expect beautiful coastal views, possible dolphins, and a bumpy ride in rough seas.
“We got to see a pod of dolphins and we got to hear lots of interesting information about the sight of Noosa Heads from a different perspective”
Set out from Noosa Marina with a maximum of 12 people for a two-hour cruise along the Noosa River, past Noosa National Park, and into open water near Noosa Heads. Skippers including Mike and Christian share whale facts while you watch for humpbacks, dolphins, turtles, rays, and other marine life. Binoculars, raincoats, and life jackets are supplied.
“Our “Captain” was very professional, friendly and experienced. He did his best to find the whales for us”
Pick a coastline, a desert or a cellar door.
