Noosa Whale Watching Cruise – Humpback Whale Adventure
Description
Embark on Noosa’s ultimate whale adventure with father-and-son crew Mike & Ozzie aboard the fastest rigid inflatable boat in town — the same type trusted by Navy, Police, Sea Rescue, and top adventure operators worldwide. Cruise past the iconic Noosa Headlands, Hells Gate, Alexander Bay, The Devil’s Kitchen, and Sunshine Beach in search of prehistoric giants — humpback whales, living dinosaurs from the Cretaceous era. Witness incredible breaches, tail-lobs, and pectoral slaps up close, with about a third of the whales being mothers with calves, often joined by playful dolphins riding the bow and wake. Fast, thrilling, and awe-inspiring, this is Noosa’s definitive whale watching experience — a nature-immersive, family-friendly safari you’ll never forget.

Was an amazing experience got to see whales and the awesome coastlines
Highly recommend this. Fortunate to see a mother and calf whales. Mike, the skipper was very informative. First time on a boat for the kids. They absolutely loved it. Highlight of their holiday.
Thank you so much I liked first time as it's such a great thing to see people having fun best part of the job for me when the client is fulfilled I know I've done my duty
Headed out from Noosa for the whale watching experience. We went on the 8am boat. Great trip out with plenty of talk from the skipper. We only saw whales from a distance as it was apparent they were shy when boats got too close and didn't surface that much. Still a great experience and we did get to see whales.
Thanks for coming as I always say can't train the dinosaurs some days Up Close and Personal and other days as it was just have to take it the mood on the day see you again next year hopefully
It was a great experience combining the watching of whales, sea turtle, dolphins, the cruise of Noosa and an exciting sea adventure. At the beginning we only saw a couple of whales at a distance but towards the end we saw many and they kept blowing water, such an amazing sight! The boat captain is experienced enough to keep tracking them and it was a delightful surprise to see many dolphins playing in the water towards the end of the journey. The journey also offered excellent views of Noosa beaches, and the boat captain kept bringing us some very exciting rides. even better than on a roller coaster! All in all it’s a very enjoyable and fun journey and we’re so lucky to see the whales!
That was a pretty amazing trip sometimes you get to see quite a lot wildlife and other times not much luck of the drawer and time on the water sounds like we had a great one
Best experience - could go every day! Lots of whales. Felt very safe. Knowledgable captain/guide and a small group
Thanks so much
We had an amazing experience with this whale watching cruise, our guide was so knowledgeable and entertaining! Knew exactly where to take us to see whales, dolphins and turtles
Thank you so much 25 years on the water gives you some good guidance I have a great passion for my work
A great experience - loved every moment, felt very safe and was kept well informed by Mike who was knowledgeable and passionate. A truly memorable morning with many whales which were so elegant and graceful. Would very highly recommend and could easily go again
Thank you so much it's great when everything comes together sometimes I wonder whether on two informative
Fantastic experience, great guide & made sure we saw the whales! 🐋 He had excellent knowledge of the whales, their habits & what they were up to.
Thank you so much it's always great when people appreciate experience boat is an amazing Rider as well
The captain was experienced and made sure we had a good time. He took us to the right places where whales were there. Along the way we also saw some dolphins.
As we say you got to do the miles to get the smiles the dolphins are local so it's always a great little bonus
Really enjoyable trip, saw quite a few whales and dolphins, and the family loved the fast boat ride. It is a speed boat, not a gentle cruise - hang on to your hats!
Awesome guys thank you yeah it is a pretty cool boat I've owned a few but this one pretty much tops it it's like a four-wheel drive on the water with speed
