About
This is your opportunity to marvel at the majestic Humpback Whales in their natural environment with the stunning Gold Coast skyline glistening in the background. Take home unique memories that only Mother Nature can provide. You’ll have a whale of a time as the crew demystifies mating and migration, baleen and blowholes, flukes and fins. Oh my, what mighty pectorals they have!

We went on a trip Saturday which was unsuccessful in seeing whales. The team where great in looking after every one. It was very choppy and alot of sick patients. I returned on Tuesday for a trip where we see 3 whales. Again the team where absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.

Big Thanks to the Team at Spirit of the Gold Coast, my hubby and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary on their sunset cruise. The crew and fellow passengers were welcoming, friendly and not pretentious. The TSOGC was smooth sailing with good commentary, the bar was good, prices to be expected, what you would pay at most venues these days. The cruise time is just perfect 2.5 hours. On the 8.4.2023 the most brilliant of golden sunsets, finished off with a moon rise on the back drop of the Main Beach skyline. Awesome. Thanks Guys. Have already recommended to friends and family for outside whale watching season and TSOGC will be our first choice when the whales are in our beautiful warm waters.

No whales ! I know nature cannot guarantee, however if to you know they are not there then why run the tour ? Staff could have been more interactive. It was difficult to hear what was being said over poor quality speakers .
The weather was great … that was the only positive as the beer was hot. We were so excited about this trip and very disappointed.

Hi, Thank you for your review, and for taking the time to share your opinion. You have travelled with Spirit on the last days of the season, which means the whales are leaving the Gold Coast, as I am sure you are aware, each day out on the Humpback Highway is incredibly different. When we head out through the seaway each day, there are certain factors that are completely out of our control. This includes how long it takes us to find whales, how many whales we encounter, as well as the sea conditions we face. That is why, in great regard for our customers, we offer the “WHALE GUARANTEE” policy (a free return trip if there are no whales sighted on the cruise). Thank you again for sharing your opinion, and wishing you Whale Blessings.

Great activity to do especially on the wet days! As a solo mum travelling with a 5 month old for the first time, I initially was worried I wouldn’t be able to enjoy this tour as much because I had my baby with me... BUT I had an absolute ball!! The staff were beyond amazing and informative. An incredible crew member, Mandy, was the absolute best and made it so easy for me to go an enjoy seeing the whales and sealife from different points of the boat whilst she cared and watched over my little one!! Seeing the whales and even a shark at one point just left me in complete awe. Thank you for the great hospitality and a memorable tour! 🫶🏻✨

Surreal experience seeing a whale and her calf that close. Great crew who explained everything and were happy to answer any questions. I wouldn't mind contacting them again next time I'm around to see if we can get even closer to these gorgeous and awesome creatures!
