Description
Set sail from the Gold Coast Broadwater to observe humpback whales during their migration, along with other marine life like dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles. Watch whales breaching, tail slapping, and engaging in playful behaviors.
With a maximum of 28 passengers, this sailing catamaran offers a more personal and relaxed whale watching experience than larger boats.
Spot various dolphin species, including Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins and Australian humpback dolphins. Shark sightings may include tiger sharks, bull sharks, hammerhead sharks, and great white sharks, which follow the whale migration route.

Morning tea is served with biscuits, lamingtons, and muffins alongside tea and coffee. Lunch includes a selection of baguettes and wraps. A fully licensed bar is available for purchasing additional drinks onboard.
