What you can expect
Set off from Tweed Heads on a two hours and 30 minutes whale watching cruise along the spectacular far north coast of New South Wales. Hop aboard a safari style boat and motor out along the Tweed coast, where more than 40,000 humpback whales migrate past these waters every year. With an expert skipper who has spent over a decade learning the best spots, you will be taken straight to where the action is for close encounters with these incredible creatures.
Keep your camera ready as the whales breach, slap their tails and spy hop across the surface, and watch for local dolphins that often cruise alongside the boat. This is a small group tour, so everyone gets a great view and a personal feel for the day out on the water. Be prepared for a bit of spray, as the safari style ride is all part of the fun. Pack a warm weatherproof jacket and a beanie, and get ready for a brilliant day out spotting some of the ocean's most amazing travellers.
