Noosa Humpback Whale Watching Cruise - 2 Hours

Highlights

  • Watch whales breach and tail slap

  • Spot dolphins, turtles and wildlife

  • Explore Hells Gates, viewable by water only

  • Travel aboard a Navy-grade vessel

  • Enjoy an intimate small-group tour

  • Witness the winter whale migration

Cruise out from Noosa Marina aboard a nimble rigid-inflatable vessel, tracing the coast past Noosa Heads and along the edge of Noosa National Park. With room for just 12 guests across six rows, every seat delivers a clear, unobstructed view while your skipper shares insights into the region's marine life along the way.

Keep an eye out as humpback whales breach, slap their tails and play in the swell during their annual winter migration north, with mothers and calves a special sight later in the season. Round Hells Gates, where the cliffs reveal a different view from the water, and watch for dolphins and turtles surfacing nearby. Blending close-up whale encounters, small-group comfort and Noosa's coastal scenery, this two-hour cruise makes for a memorable morning on the water.
