Gold Coast’s Boutique Whale Watching Tour
Get closer
Set sail from Surfers Paradise for a dynamic up-close encounter that will stay with you for a lifetime. Witness one of the animal kingdom’s most breathtaking spectacles 35,000 migrating humpback whales passing close to Gold Coast shores twice each year travelling along an ancient route known as the Humpback Highway. Marvel at their dramatic aerial displays. See mothers tenderly care for calves. Feel dwarfed by their size as they curiously approach the vessel. Keep your camera at the ready because whales aren’t the only stars of the show – our tours routinely encounter charismatic dolphins, enormous green sea turtles and resident and migratory seabirds. A locally owned and family operated business, Whales in Paradise is the ultimate boutique marine wildlife experience.
