Description

Unlike standard whale watching boat tours, this experience is a full-day eco adventure into the remote Great Sandy National Park from Noosa. Your tour includes: - Scenic 4WD beach transport through the National Park - Access to remote coastal locations unreachable by regular vehicles - Small group guided ocean kayaking - Quiet, low-impact whale encounters with no engine noise - A more personal and immersive wildlife experience - Opportunities to encounter dolphins, turtles, rays and more - Time spent in pristine natural surroundings far from crowded tourist vessels - Crystal clear waters of Honeymoon Bay & ancient coloured sand cliffs - A natural whale sanctuary Rather than viewing whales from a large boat amongst crowds, our tours focus on respectful encounters in nature, allowing wildlife experiences to happen naturally and on the whales’ terms. This is more than just whale watching — it’s a complete Great Sandy National Park adventure experience.

Amazing day on the water!

What an incredible day on the water! We spotted whales in the distance, then had a pod of dolphins swim right past us up close in the bay. The drive along the beach also treated us to amazing views of more whales. A day to remember!

BEST Birthday out on the water at Double Island Point

A M A Z I N G. Booked a solo trip for my birthday and have had the most memorable day. Special mention to Vince our guide. His knowledge and passion for the all the wildlife shines through and I learnt so much. Out on the water we saw multiple pods of dolphins, giant manta rays, turtles, shovelnose shark to name a few. The water was crystal clear and we watched the surfers catching some epic waves. It's practically day one of whale watching season so although we didn't spot them this time they would have been out there afar, I would one hundred percent recommend this trip to anyone. I will remember this day always.

Fun time despite whale no show

Thanks to James for a fun, relaxed time embracing our beautiful country and marvelling at our wildlife. We loved accessing areas we would not have otherwise seen, and paddling around a dolphin pod and turtles was a highlight.

Kayak adventure with young kids

Recently went on the Kayak whale watching tour and had a great time. We took our young kids 6&3, which we were a little concerned about. However they had fun and hopefully had some really memorable experiences. The wee man was a bit concerned with getting wet to start, but relaxed after a while. We saw a sea Eagle, turtle, pod of dolphins and even had some hump backs swim right under our kayak. Highlight of my holiday. We definitely had a few extra snacks to keep kids happy as they advise before the trip. Thanks again guys
