Highlights

Join Australia’s highest-award-winning whale-watching operator, Sea World
Whale Watch, for a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience and witness the
majestic humpback whales in their natural habitat!


Departing from the Sea World Cruise Terminal in Main Beach, soak up the iconic
views of the Gold Coast as you embark on a whale-watching cruise aboard our
luxurious purpose-built vessel, the 'Spirit of Migaloo II'.


Setting sail up to six times daily from late May until early November, we
journey to the famous Humpback Highway, where 40,000 whales pass close to Gold
Coast shores on their annual migration from Antarctica to the Great Barrier
Reef.


Observe the breathtaking display of whales launching into the air, slapping
their mighty tails on the water, and diving deep into the ocean. During close
encounters, gain a unique perspective by watching live underwater footage
streamed directly to your mobile device. You may even hear the iconic whale
song through our advanced underwater microphones.


Enjoy expert commentary from our knowledgeable crew as you witness these
playful and curious gentle giants showcase their acrobatic skills. Look for
other fascinating wildlife, including dolphins, turtles, and sea birds.


While you anticipate your cruise , indulge in eating on the waterfront deck
cafe, enrich your knowledge with informative exhibits, and visit the gift shop
at our stunning terminal.

Must go. Amazing experience. Whether you see whale breach depends on weather conditions.

Amazing though some of our family members had suffered sea sick.

KENNETH.Family (with young kids)

Managed to see dolphin and whale. We were lucky enough to see a mother whale and baby whale. Do take note to take measures to prevent sea sickness. Children who are slightly weaker may have motion sickness.
