Each year the waters surrounding Townsville, Magnetic Island and The Palm Island Group come alive with the annual migration of the majestic Humpback Whales.
These amazing mammals love playing in the warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef and migrate every year to feed, mate and give birth before returning south with their calves. Mid-July to August is a prime time for whale watching and this cruise is the perfect opportunity to enjoy an encounter with these gentle giants.
Humpback sightings have continued to increase every year along the Queensland Coastline. They just love to show off with breaches, tail slapping and even a close up wink when they are feeling extra curious.
Cruise aboard a great vessel with commentary, a delicious morning or afternoon tea and two decks with spacious indoor and outdoor viewing areas.

What happens if I don’t see a whale on my tour?
Historically we have had 99% strike rate on our tours, we set our start and finish dates in the peak of the season to minimise leaving our guests disappointed. In the rare case we don’t come across any Whales, it is still a great morning/afternoon on the water, and you would have received a 3-hour cruise plus a delicious morning or afternoon tea.
