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!

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
