Whale Watching Cruise from Mooloolaba
Overview
Aboard Crusader 1, our massive 55ft vessel, we offer a truly unique and intimate experience.
Originally built as a commercial vessel, Crusader 1 was designed with exceptional safety and stability as its foundation, ensuring a smooth and secure journey even in open-ocean conditions.
Unlike larger, crowded tour boats, we strictly limit our 3-hour cruises to just 22 passengers. This low-capacity approach guarantees you a "rail-side position" at all times, providing unobstructed 360-degree views and the perfect vantage point for photos without ever having to jostle for a look.
Our open-deck design allows you to fully immerse yourself in the marine environment. You’ll have the chance to see whales in their natural habitat.
The experience is as educational as it is breathtaking. Our informative and friendly crew are passionate about the region’s marine life and share in-depth knowledge and local insights, making your encounter both personal and profound.

What To Expect
You will meet in our waiting area until advised to board Crusader 1. A safety brief will be given prior to departing and then we head out of the Mooloolaba Bar and start exploring the ocean for Humpback Whales. This is a team effort and we like our guests to assist us in finding the whales.
