Gold Coast Whale Watching Cruise
Get up close and personal with the most majestic creatures of the sea. You don't have to just watch the whales from a bridge or dock. Now you can get right on the water, close enough to feel the boat rock as the whales play and swim by close. This is a perfect adventure tour for the whole family, with the promise of great memories, spectacular photos, and a new appreciation for the great sea going mammals.
Take your pick between the various tour services available depending on your schedule, then get ready for a half day's fun. You definitely can't experience something this exciting from an inland city! Once you arrive at the dock you will board the boat that will convey to the spot where whales are seen seasonally. The crew are experts, of course and will know exactly where to go to make sure you get a good luck. In fact one of the services is among the first to conduct such tours so you can count on their judgment. Once you arrive you can enjoy the majestic whales, among them, the famous humpback whale, large and playful. You might get splashed as this great mammal slaps the water with its tail or as it sounds to dive deeper. While you are on board, you will hear the commentary given by the experienced crew, and possibly even a video presentation about the whales and their migrations.
The tour is open to people of all ages and it operates in all weather except poor visibility conditions, at which point the tour will be rescheduled so you can experience the fun of whale watching in better conditions. Also, the tour tends to work with small numbers of guests so that the ship is not crowded at all and you'll be able to ask questions and enjoy yourself fully. As always, remember to bring your camera so that you'll be able to catch those perfect pictures for your album back home!
