Description

Set sail from the Sunshine Coast on Whale One for a proper whale watching adventure. You'll feel the energy as everyone scans the ocean for that first mighty spray or cheeky tail flick from a passing humpback. Nothing beats that first salty breeze and rush of excitement when a whale pops up beside the boat for a closer look.

These gentle giants love a bit of human-watching too, so don't be surprised if one comes right up for a stickybeak. From massive breaches and enthusiastic tail slaps to those classic spy hops, every trip brings something wild and new. No two cruises are the same - it's pure, unscripted ocean magic.

The crew's as passionate about respecting the whales as they are about sharing the fun. Every cruise sticks to the Australian National Guidelines and a strict Code of Practice, putting the whales' wellbeing first. You'll also rub shoulders with real-deal whale researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, working right onboard to gather fresh data.

And the best bit? If the whales decide to play hide and seek, you'll score a free return ticket to try again. There's no better way to soak in salty air, big blue views and the wild wonder of whale season on the Sunshine Coast.

Additional Information

Whale Sighting Guarantee If you don't spot any whales while out on Whale One, you'll get a free return trip to give it another crack.
