3-Hour Whale Watching Cruise Without the Crowds in Mooloolaba

175 reviews from Google

Out on the Sunshine Coast migration path, this Mooloolaba cruise gives you room to follow every tail slap, breach and blow without jostling for a view. Step aboard an 18-metre vessel capped at just 23 guests, with walk-around decks, lounge seating and onboard commentary helping you settle into the rhythm of the ocean. The crew keeps the experience relaxed and respectful, leaving space for those quiet moments between sightings and the sudden thrill when a humpback surfaces nearby. Drinks are available to purchase onboard as the coastline falls away and the next plume appears on the horizon.
