Embark on an oceanic adventure

Embarking from the Sea World Cruise Terminal in Main Beach, step aboard the Spirit of Migaloo II for a 2.5-hour whale-watching experience. This luxurious vessel is your gateway to the Humpback Highway, where 40,000 whales journey annually. As you wait, indulge in refreshments from the fully-stocked onboard bar and grab your position at the open deck. Then, prepare to witness the breathtaking spectacle of humpback whales leaping, tail-slapping, and diving, all while surrounded by other fascinating marine life like dolphins, turtles, and seabirds.

Immersive whale watching and cruise amenities

Your whale encounter is amplified by live underwater video streams and microphones, broadcasting the giants' movements and songs directly to your phone, a feature exclusive to this cruise. Between sightings, enjoy guided commentary from experienced marine naturalists, enriching your understanding of these majestic creatures. The 100% Whale Sighting Guarantee ensures a free return cruise if these oceanic acrobats remain elusive.
