WHALE WATCHING

WHALE WATCHING TOURS

Whale Watching Day Tours

Season: July – October

Witness the Magic of Humpback Whales on the Great Barrier Reef. Imagine one of the largest animals on Earth launching into the air, crashing back into the sea with a thunderous splash—only to resurface just metres away, offering a curious glance. These gentle giants grace our oceans during their epic migration from Antarctica to Queensland, and we’re lucky to be right on their path along the Humpack Highway.

Each year, humpback whales journey thousands of kilometres to the warm, calm waters of the Great Barrier Reef, an ideal resting and nurturing ground for mothers and their calves. Here, the young learn vital survival skills while bonding in one of nature’s most awe-inspiring settings.

Getting up close to a humpback whale is an unforgettable, soul-stirring experience. Our expert crew is dedicated to making your encounter safe, memorable, and deeply respectful of these magnificent creatures, while providing insightful commentary on their ecology and biology.

As an Advanced Ecotourism Certified operator, we follow strict guidelines to ensure our tours are environmentally responsible and wildlife-friendly, so you can enjoy the magic knowing you’re leaving only bubbles behind.

Every tour offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Join us for a luxurious, eco-friendly whale watching adventure just 45 minutes north of Hervey Bay, or a 45-minute flight from Brisbane, departing from Bundaberg Port Marina. Relax on our comfortable vessel with spacious seating and 360-degree viewing decks—perfect for spotting the playful humpback whales up close.

Our friendly crew will make you feel welcome from the moment you step aboard. Hear insightful commentary on the whales as you enjoy morning tea and a light lunch, with drinks and snacks available for purchase throughout the tour.
