Overview

Whale watching like you've never experienced before. Our team gives you the opportunity to witness the spectacular humpback whale migration off the scenic Sunshine Coast above and below the water!

Taking only 20 passengers, it gives everyone a front-row seat to witness breath-taking breaches, loud tail slaps, spy hops and penduncle throws onboard our new custom built Woody Marine 1200HP Rib.

Our knowledgeable skipper will provide you with entertaining and informative commentary educating you about these majestic creatures whilst you watch them frolic and play! It doesn't get any better than this.

Mudjimba (pass by)

Old Woman Island (or Mudjimba Island) is located 1km off the coast. There are a number of Aboriginal legends abound about the Island. One has it, the Island was the result of an epic battle between two men, Coolum and Ninderry, and a woman called Maroochy. The end result was that Coolum's head was knocked off and ended up in the ocean, creating Mudjimba Island. Mount Coolum, seven kilometers to the north, is now flat topped due to the lack of a head! There are various other legends involving Aboriginal women living on the island until old age, hence the "Old Woman" name.

Q: Will I get seasick on Mooloolaba Whale Watching – Small Group Tour?

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
