Embark on an unforgettable journey along the ‘Humpback Highway’ and witness the magnificent humpback whales in their natural habitat with Australia’s highest-award-winning whale watching operator, Sea World Whale Watch.
Join Sea World Whale Watch, Australia's highest-award-winning whale-watching operator, for a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience and see the majestic humpback whales in their natural habitat! Departing from the Sea World Cruise Terminal in Main Beach, enjoy the iconic views of the Gold Coast as you embark on a whale-watching cruise aboard the luxurious Spirit of Migaloo II vessel. The cruises run up to six times a day from late May until early November, taking you to the Humpback Highway, where 40,000 whales pass close to Gold Coast shores on their annual migration.
Observe the whales launching into the air, slapping their tails on the water, and diving deep into the ocean. During close encounters, watch live underwater footage streamed directly to your mobile device (coming soon) and hear the iconic whale song through advanced underwater microphones. Our knowledgeable crew provides expert commentary as you witness these gentle giants showcase their acrobatic skills, while also looking for dolphins, turtles, and seabirds. Before your cruise, indulge in eating at the waterfront deck cafe, explore informative exhibits, and visit the gift shop at our stunning terminal. Sea World Whale Watch offers a 100% Whale Sighting Guarantee, providing a free return cruise if no whales are spotted. With this guarantee, you can be confident in witnessing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Book now for an unforgettable whale-watching experience!
