During this intimate cruise watch in awe as you witness common whale behaviours including a breach, tail slap and fluke up dive with entertaining commentary from guides. The Noosa Whale Watching Cruise is available daily from the Noosa Marina between July and October.

It was a very exciting cruise
It was a very exciting cruise. Everyone can seat window side. Staff is so kind and funny. We totally got wet! Water splashes were so cool. Also, we can see Hell’s gate from the ocean. It was a great experience. I wanna do this again.
