Luxury Yacht Whale Watching Tour With Marine Biologist

Watch humpback whales on a 2.5‑hour Gold Coast whale watching tour aboard a 34-meter luxury super-yacht with a Marine Biologist.

Getting started

Board at Mariner's Cove next to Marina Mirage at the designated time for your session. After check-in, step onto the 34-meter luxury super-yacht and find a comfortable spot on deck or indoors. After a quick safety briefing, cruise from the marina into open ocean waters.

What to expect

This single, continuous whale watching tour takes you from the calm marina into offshore waters to watch humpback whales on their annual migration. Across 2.5 hours, you move between viewing areas as the crew positions the yacht for close, respectful encounters with the whales.

Features

• Humpback whale sightings: Spot humpback whales as they breach, tail slap, and surface around the vessel in their natural habitat during this dedicated whale watching tour. If whales are not sighted, the operator’s 100% Whale Sightings Guarantee allows you to return on another day, as per their policy.

• Multiple viewing areas: Time on the 34-meter luxury super-yacht gives you access to multiple viewing areas, so you can walk around and choose different vantage points as the whales appear near the Gold Coast.

• Live commentary & marine biologist insights: Throughout the cruise, the crew and onboard Marine Biologist share live commentary about whale behavior, migration patterns, sighting locations, and other marine wildlife you may encounter along the way.

• Complimentary tea & snacks: Light morning or afternoon tea is served during the journey, which complements the complimentary snacks on arrival without you needing to bring your own food.

• Kids’ activity sheet: Younger guests receive a kids' activity coloring-in sheet, which they can complete between whale sightings or while seated inside.

• Boarding photo opportunity: A boarding photo is taken as you embark, giving you the option to later purchase a memento that captures the start of your time on the yacht.

• Onboard gift shop: You can browse the onboard gift shop during quieter moments at sea if you want souvenirs related to the Gold Coast or whale watching.
