Overview

Embark on Noosa’s ultimate whale adventure with father-and-son crew Mike & Ozzie aboard the fastest rigid inflatable boat in town — the same type trusted by Navy, Police, Sea Rescue, and top adventure operators worldwide. Cruise past the iconic Noosa Headlands, Hells Gate, Alexander Bay, The Devil’s Kitchen, and Sunshine Beach in search of prehistoric giants — humpback whales, living dinosaurs from the Cretaceous era. Witness incredible breaches, tail-lobs, and pectoral slaps up close, with about a third of the whales being mothers with calves, often joined by playful dolphins riding the bow and wake. Fast, thrilling, and awe-inspiring, this is Noosa’s definitive whale watching experience — a nature-immersive, family-friendly safari you’ll never forget.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Noosa whales dolphins’ adventures [sunshine coast ]?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
