Premium Whale Watching Cruise by SeaWorld

Watch whales off the Gold Coast on a 2.5-hour Sea World cruise, with marine naturalist commentary and a whale-sighting guarantee.

Getting started

Begin your experience at the Sea World Cruises Terminal at Main Beach, where you board the vessel for your 2.5-hour whale-watching cruise. Settle into your seat and get oriented with the onboard interactive displays as the crew runs through safety information. Your marine naturalist guide then starts sharing insights into local whale behavior as the boat heads out to sea.

What to expect

During your cruise, you look for migrating whales in the waters off the Gold Coast while learning about marine life from your guide.

Features

• Whale-watching cruise: Join a 2.5-hour whale-watching cruise, giving you time to watch whales in their natural environment off the coast.

• Marine naturalist commentary: Hear live commentary from a marine naturalist guide, who explains whale behaviors, migration patterns, and the broader marine ecosystem.

• Hydrophones & underwater cameras: Use access to hydrophones and underwater cameras when conditions allow, so you can listen to whale sounds and see below the surface.

Wrapping up

After the vessel returns to the Sea World Cruises Terminal and you disembark, your experience concludes. If you selected the option that includes a 1-day SeaWorld pass, you can then use that pass for entry to SeaWorld on a day specified by your ticket.
