Whales in Paradise

The first and original whale watching tour on the Gold Coast, Whales in Paradise offers a first-rate whale watching experience that has thrilled holidaymakers and cetologists for more than 15 years.

Whales in Paradise Gold Coast is family-run with a dedicated crew, and is the only whale watching tour on the Gold Coast that departs from the heart of Surfers Paradise. Whale sightings are guaranteed with Whales in Paradise, where their modern Mahi Mahi vessel will take you as close to the migrating humpbacks as possible!

Offering a full walk-around top deck with 360-degree views and a lower deck that puts you on water-level, you’ll get to see the majestic humpback whales up-close, providing a thrilling four-hour whale watching experience that won’t be easily forgotten.

Whales in Paradise is environmentally friendly, dedicated to low emissions and low noise disturbance to protect both the ocean and the whales. Tours operate daily in the morning and afternoon, with onboard tea provided-for and expert whale commentary to deliver a well-rounded Gold Coast tourist experience.

Spirit of Gold Coast Whale Watching

Spirit of Gold Coast is another leading whale watching tour operator on the Gold Coast, which departs from Mariner’s Cove Marina on Seaworld Drive, Main Beach.

With Spirit Whale Watching, take to the ocean with a professional crew on a 24-metre purpose-built Catamaran, with 360-degree viewing and a fully licensed bar to enjoy during the tour. Detailed expert commentary from an onboard marine biologist provides a fantastic insight on the migrating humpbacks, with a free return trip in the rare event of no whale sightings!

Spirit of Gold Coast’s morning and afternoon tours last up to three hours, providing plenty of chance to get up-close with the whales. There is even a professional photographer onboard, capturing all the action in case you miss a special moment!

A fun fact: Spirit of Gold Coast is the only whale watching company to have consecutively sighted Migaloo - the world-famous protected white humpback who has been seen several times off the Australian East Coast since 1991.

Sea World Whale Watch Cruises

Sea World Gold Coast - the leading tourist marine park in Queensland - offers its own whale watching tour with Sea World Cruises, and it’s another fantastic whale watching experience to enjoy with 100% guaranteed sightings.

Departing from Sea World Cruise Terminal next to Sea World, Sea World Whale Watch takes you straight to the migrating humpback whales with occasional encounters with bottlenose dolphins, turtles and sharks. Complete with an expert crew and three spacious levels for whale viewing, Sea World provides a memorable whale watching tour that can be enjoyed both in the morning and afternoon.

Pick your experience: Sea World Main Beach offers a 1.5-hour Morning Explorer Cruise as well as a Lunch Cruise and Dinner Cruise, making it a great option if you’re looking to dine onboard. In the event of no whale sightings during the off-season, Sea World gives a full refund for all passengers.
